What the about page [0] giveth "You gain access to many high-quality stock graphics and photos and that's all for free!", the terms of use [1] seem to taketh away "Images, other than comp images, may only be used commercially once you have entered into a license agreement and paid the relevant fee".

The TermOfUse will be updated. It is totally free but a link to the site would be appreciated. The reason for this bug is that the site was built as part of another website http://www.ImageRee.com that is a normal stock photo website. The termOfUse from that site has for some reason been published on this site.

Thanks for the update. For many images users, the T&Cs are just as important as the images, so it will be good to clear this up.

If you try to download an image, you're greeted with "Get access to the best collection of member generated royalty-free images, at the world's best prices. It's free and only takes a minute."

I'm not quite sure what's free. :|

That is a bug and will be corrected. The site is free but a link to the site would be appreciated.

Just try to download an image, and read the text on the right side. You'll see what I posted. :) Good luck with the new project!
