Their service is not under that licence, since it works by hotlinking to images and so you don't actually host anything of theirs on your site. The images they are using fall under that licence, however, which is why they credit them when they use them on their own website (since they are re-hosting the images and so have to abide by the rules)

They say, of the licence, "So, if you want to use the images for more than just layouts, you have to double check the license and ask the author."

My feeling is this means you only need to credit the author should you be planning to host the images on your own site, rather than hotlinking via Lorempixel.
