2. I may only submit my photo or a photo of an individual from whom I have obtained express permission to submit a photo under these Terms.  Pictures of celebrities, persons of notoriety or other third parties, in each case, that Club reasonably believes are not your picture or a picture of someone from whom you have obtained express permission may be rejected and Club will not be obligated to refund the purchase price.

I further acknowledge and agree that the NFL Entities are not responsible for any lost or damaged cutouts, and that any lost or damaged cutout will not be replaced.
