Cheap Stockphotos?

I cant believe I missed looking at Stock Xchng. Does anyone really know if you can use those images on your website without violating any agreements? I've looked at other sites before and everything looks great until you read their agreements where it says that you can't use the images for commercial purposes...only personal stuff. But, this looks different.

I've been looking at their info about that and it appears that you are O.K. to use them, unless otherwise stated in the agreement info for each photo. Also, you can't do bad or goofy things...of course.

But, here's their Agreement Info that I've been looking at and it appears you can use these on your websites...even commercial or promotional.

If anyone else knows anything different...let me know.

Thanks!
