Myspace hiyaaa my stock used to be very free, as in 'i didn't care how it was being used.' but over time it got abused, so hopefully my rules aren't complicated lol.

the usual, you do not need to ask to use in a drawing, manip, painting, etc. as long as it's not being reproduced for others to use. more on that is in the other rules below.

Layouts are okay if you credit properly.
credit properly
READ HERE 
providing me with a link is optional. I just want proper credit.
Credit is a law, not a rule. Especially if you are using my images for commercial purposes.
The image may be used * in Prints (if the image is not edited colors, tones, and textures. Make it creative with other images.)
* in Slideshow presentations for work/school
* to narrate a story/poem
* for Photo retouches (editing colors/tones/adding textures) but I do not allow it to be sold as prints if it's only retouched for color/texture/tone editing.
* in Tutorials, wallpapers (remember to read the other rules below this)
* as Photoshop action previews
* on Fliers
* on other websites (like if you make a manip, I allow you to upload it on ponybox or flickr, etc.)
ALWAYS WITH PROPER CREDIT (except if selling as print, that's a bit different, but ALWAYS WITH PROPER CREDIT if it's on the WWW (world wide web!)
These are rules from SXC.HU that I think are good examples for my stock:
[link](except I added a few of my own personal rules)
Always ask permission from the photographer if you want to use the Image * in Premade backgrounds, or premade images
READ HERE AND I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TYPE THAT YOU GOT PERMISSION FROM ME, or I will know if you asked or not, and if you ask me to use my images that way, I will remind to mention credit that way. * In website templates that You intend to sell or distribute.
* For creating printed reproductions that You intend to sell.
* On "print on demand" items such as t-shirts, postcards, mouse pads, mugs (e.g. on sites like Cafepress), or on any similar mass produced item that would contain the Image in a dominant way.
For commercial use, please ask me for permission (of course), and please don't plan on using it for commercial purposes if you're only retouching the colors, adding textures and contrast in a photo and selling it or having it downloaded.(But if you use my stock mixed in with other stock images (excluding textures) to create a creative piece that is not only one stock photo edited, then it's okay, BUT please let me know and see it before you actually sell it commercially.+)
You may not use the Image * For pornographic, unlawful or other immoral purposes, for spreading hate or discrimination, or to defame or victimise other people, sociteties, cultures.
* To endorse products and services if it depicts a person.
* As part of a trademark, service mark or logo.
* SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS!
