I have a standard license to buy vectors and photos, and I understand that purchased items can't be used for commercial. However, I wonder if I use those purchased vectors/photos to print on a t-shirt (which only me to wear, not intentionally to make lots of them and sell), is that possible? Please advise. Thanks!

No, standard licenses can be used for commercial use, there are just some restrictions.
One of the restrictions is using stock assets to be used on items for sale or distribution if the primary value of the item is the image (posters, t-shirts etc.). So basically if you are distributing or selling the t-shirts you need to buy an extended license. If you

So basically if you are distributing or selling the t-shirts you need to buy an extended license. If you are designing a t-shirt for your own use, or a poster to be shown in your own premises, you may use a standard license.

Hi Abambo
so the primary value rule does not apply for the extended license?

That's not what he meant. An extended license is ALWAYS required if you intend to use the image in a product that you will resell. But you can never just resell the image itself, regardless of the license type you select.

By @Vikentijs
The “primary value” rule is used to give you a method to find out how to determine the need for an extended licence instead of a standard licence.
When you want to determine the licence required for a use case, you first check if the use case is allowed.
Example:
For 2, there are 2 use cases:
If you now look at the licensing terms, you can determine, by reading those terms, if your use case is allowed and what type of licence you need. And if a licence type is not available for an asset that is needed to do what you want, it is not allowed. So the free image assets come with a standard licence and the extended licence is not available. That means that you can't use that for merchandising, even if you would like. An enhanced licence does not allow for merchandising, so you can't use such an asset for that use case.
