You are correct - the Serbs accepted 9 of the 10 draconian provisions of the ultimatum, the one they rejected being Austria's insistence they be allowed to participate in - direct - Serbian judicial proceedings concerning the suspected accessories to the assassination.
Thus, with that as justification Austria started WWI.
