Agreement to the terms and conditions is not automatically an agreement with the the donor as to Fair Market Value.
Even if it were, no such agreement has any direct relevance as to actual FMV, except perhaps as one more data point. If the agreed value were artificially high or low, that would certainly not bind the IRS.
Other posters have given able advice on methods of evaluating FMV that will likely pass muster.
