This needs simply “If a 1st Party receives a request with DNT:0 that was the result of a user-granted exception…”;  yes, IF the DNT:0 was the result of an exception, THEN you can’t do more than you claimed when you asked for the exception.  Mind you, I expect that the request will be for tracking in general, so I don’t expect this clause to have any effect in the majority of cases.
