Midjourney removed 13 sentences from its Terms of Service on April 26, 2026, including entire section headers 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. The document now contains 145 sentences. The removal of these section headers and their content means that substantive terms previously governing these areas are no longer explicitly stated in the terms, though the operational impact depends on whether the underlying policies were moved elsewhere, consolidated, or genuinely eliminated.

Midjourney removed substantial sections from its Terms of Service covering age requirements, content rights, DMCA policy, dispute resolution, payment and billing, and community guidelines. The removal of these section headers and their substantive content means users no longer have explicit written guidance on these critical areas within the primary terms document. This creates operational uncertainty about what terms now govern these areas: whether they were relocated to separate policies, consolidated elsewhere, or eliminated entirely cannot be determined from this change summary alone. The absence of explicit terms on dispute resolution, age verification, and content rights represents a material change in contractual transparency.
