If Officepro.com removes or disables access to any user's material that is claimed to be infringing, Officepro.com may attempt to contact the user in order to give the user an opportunity to respond to the notification, although Officepro.com makes no promise to do so. Any and all counter notifications submitted by the user will be furnished to the complaining party. Officepro.com will give the complaining party an opportunity to seek judicial relief in accordance with the DMCA before Officepro.com replaces or restores access to any material as a result of any counter notification.

Affiliate agrees to assume sole responsibility for compliance by Affiliate and Affiliate's web site(s) with all applicable intellectual property laws and all other laws.

A former nonresident alien will thereafter become entitled to re-enter the Program upon satisfactory completion of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any other tax forms that Officepro.com, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate.
