Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward it to the complaining party who submitted the original DMCA notification and advise that original party that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) business days. The original party (or their representative) will then have ten (10) business days to notify us that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network. If we do not receive any such response notification within ten (10) business days, we shall replace the removed material and/or cease disabling access to it not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the counter-notice.
