4. Notify the Complainant once the access to the material has been removed or disabled.

To the extent the notices and "take down" requirements above deviate from the requirements under the DMCA, then the notice requirements as provided by the DMCA shall control and are herein incorporated by reference.
In accordance with the DMCA, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and in the sole discretion of userfree.net, Members who are deemed to be repeat copyright infringers.
