Upon receipt of a Counter Notification containing the information as outlined above:

(A) EFP shall promptly provide you with a copy of the counter notification, and inform you that EFP will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days; and

(B) EFP shall replace the removed material and cease disabling access to the material in no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless EFP’s designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from you that you have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material at the Website.
