If you upload pictures with the conditions that they have set in the agreement, then they would be in the clear to use the pictures without payment. As you say, it's exceedingly unlikely, but they could.
Generally what you are doing is granting them a non-exclusive usage license that allows them to basically do whatever they want with the pictures. As Mark's excellent blog post points out though, it's far more trouble than it's generally worth to try to exploit the pictures for direct monetary gain. Displaying them is usually the extend of how they use them.
