StudioMart Connect maintains a strict repeat infringer policy in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Accounts that repeatedly violate copyright laws may be subject to:

A "repeat infringer" is generally defined as a user who has received three or more valid DMCA takedown notices within a twelve-month period. However, StudioMart Connect reserves the right to take action at any time based on the severity and pattern of infringement.

Watch Parties on StudioMart Connect allow users to watch content together in real time. All participants in a Watch Party are responsible for ensuring that the content being shared does not infringe upon third-party copyrights.
