Midjourney updated their Terms of Service on April 19, 2026, adding a navigational table of contents with 10 numbered sections covering topics like service availability, age requirements, content rights, payments, and community guidelines. This appears to be a structural reorganization to make the document easier to navigate rather than a change to underlying rights or obligations. While the content of your rights and Midjourney's policies may not have fundamentally changed, users should review the newly labeled sections to confirm no substantive changes were quietly introduced alongside the restructuring.
A restructured Terms of Service is easier to navigate, but reorganizations can sometimes obscure substantive changes to important rights around content ownership, data use, or dispute resolution. Users and businesses relying on Midjourney should confirm the underlying terms in critical sections remain unchanged.
Midjourney reorganized their Terms of Service into 10 clearly labeled sections, making it easier to find information about topics like content rights, payments, and dispute resolution. This structural change improves readability but does not on its face alter the underlying rights or obligations for users. You can review the updated Terms of Service using the new section headings to quickly locate the areas most relevant to you, such as Content Rights (section 4) or Payment and Billing (section 8).
Midjourney added a 10-item table of contents to its Terms of Service on April 19, 2026, reorganizing the document into named sections covering service availability, age requirements, user data, content rights, DMCA, dispute resolution, rate limiting, payments, and community guidelines. On its face this is a structural formatting change. However, compliance officers should confirm that no substantive language was altered beneath the new headings — particularly in dispute resolution (arbitration clauses), content rights (IP ownership/licensing), and data/privacy sections, all of which carry regulatory and contractual significance. Immediate action is unlikely required, but a line-by-line review against the prior version is prudent before closing.
Because this appears to be primarily a structural reorganization, direct regulatory exposure is limited. However, the named sections touch frameworks that carry specific obligations: (1) 'Your Information' (section 3) — GDPR Art. 13 (transparency/notice obligations), CCPA Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 et seq. (right to know), UK GDPR Art. 13; (2) 'Age Requirements' (section 2) — COPPA 16 C.F.R. Part 312 (children's online privacy), EU Digital Services Act Art. 28 (minors' protections); (3) 'Content Rights' (section 4) — potential FTC Act Section 5 (unfair/deceptive practices) if IP rights assignments to consumers are unclear or misleading; (4) 'DMCA and Takedowns Policy' (section 5) — 17 U.S.C. §512 (safe harbor compliance); (5) 'Dispute Resolution and Governing Law' (section 6) — CFPB guidance on arbitration clauses, EU Directive 2013/11/EU (ADR), potentially California Code of Civil Procedure §1281 et seq.; (6) 'Payment and Billing' (section 8) — FTC Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA), Regulation E (if applicable). If any substantive language changed within these sections, the regulatory exposure escalates accordingly.
