Midjourney added 13 sentences that appear to be a table of contents or section headers for their Terms of Service on April 19, 2026. The change introduces labeled sections for Service Availability and Quality, Age Requirements, Your Information, Content Rights, DMCA and Takedowns Policy, Dispute Resolution and Governing Law, Unlimited Service and Rate Limiting, Payment and Billing, and Community Guidelines. Without the full text of these new sections, the operational impact of these additions cannot be determined from the change summary alone.
Midjourney's Terms of Service now includes explicit section headers for Age Requirements, Your Information, Content Rights, DMCA and Takedowns Policy, Dispute Resolution and Governing Law, Unlimited Service and Rate Limiting, Payment and Billing, and Community Guidelines. The addition of these section headers suggests the document is being reorganized for clarity, though the actual substantive content of each section would need to be reviewed to determine what obligations or rights they establish. The change appears to be organizational rather than substantive.
The updated Terms of Service now includes explicit section headers for topics that materially affect user rights and platform governance, including age verification requirements, content ownership and licensing, DMCA compliance procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Reviewers should examine the substantive content of these newly organized sections to understand what obligations and rights they establish.
→ The terms governing age eligibility, content rights, and dispute resolution will apply as stated in the updated sections without user review or action.
New section establishes age-related restrictions; full text review needed to determine specific age gates or verification procedures.
New section addresses content ownership and usage rights; requires review to assess changes to user rights or platform licensing claims.
New section formalizes takedown procedures; requires review to determine notice requirements, response timelines, and user appeal processes.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
The change appears to be a structural reorganization of Midjourney's Terms of Service, adding section headers without modification to substantive content based on the change summary provided. If the underlying sections contain new or modified obligations related to data processing, payment terms, DMCA compliance, or dispute resolution, those would trigger regulatory review under applicable frameworks (GDPR for EU users, CCPA for California residents, FTC Act Section 5 for unfair or deceptive practices). Without the full text of each new section, institutional impact cannot be fully assessed. A compliance team should request the complete updated document to evaluate whether substantive changes accompany these structural additions.
GDPR (EU data processing), CCPA (California privacy), FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices), DMCA (section 17 U.S.C. 512 for takedown procedures), state consumer protection statutes (payment and billing practices), age-verification regulations applicable to content platforms
