I'm not an attorney, but I'm pretty sure the notices were correctly structured and delivered.
Terafile don't have safe harbour, they pay uploaders, they don't respond and often don't comply with DMCA requests. They do use ENOM as a registrar, they do not have a domain managed by the USA, their domicile is outside of the US, their servers are outside of the US but they do use Cloudflare.

The ugly truth is that if Terafile dropped using Cloudflare, changed to a non US owned registrar and remain hosted and domiciled outside of the US then the DMCA does not apply to them and they are free to ignore it.

Your reliance on legal recourse in this case falls to provisions in the Berne Convention if their country of domicile is a signatory, however even then you'd be better off suing the man on the moon unless you have a big war chest and lots of evidence.
