 (d) do so within:
 (i) 24 hours after the notice was given to the provider; or

 (a) notify the Commissioner that the provider has ceased to provide a link to the material; and
 (b) do so as soon as practicable after the cessation.

 (b) during the previous 12 months:
 (i) the Commissioner gave one or more removal notices under section 109 or 110 in relation to class 1 material that could be accessed using a link provided by the service; and
