Just in case anybody else gets confused and comes by, I said "with the exception of your random piece and/or accessory."

When people say and/or it means "You can do this AND that" or "You can do this or that". Like "You can get a pink flower and/or a yellow flower", so you could get both, or just get one.

So basically, you are allowed to use a branded piece AND an accessory, or you can just make the accessory your branded piece.
