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.
The updated terms no longer explicitly address dispute resolution, content rights, DMCA takedown procedures, payment and billing, data handling, age verification, service availability, or community guidelines. This removal creates contractual ambiguity in core governance areas that typically protect consumer rights and establish mutual obligations. The operational significance depends on whether these provisions were relocated to separate documents or genuinely eliminated; without confirmation, users and organizations cannot determine what protections or obligations remain in effect.
→ Review Midjourney's full current policy set to locate any relocated versions of removed sections, particularly dispute resolution, content rights, and payment terms.
→ Contact Midjourney support to confirm whether removed sections were deleted or moved to separate documents, and request documentation of the relocated terms.
→ If dispute resolution language was genuinely removed, users may lack a contractually established mechanism for resolving claims with Midjourney.
→ Content ownership and licensing terms will remain unstated unless relocated elsewhere, leaving ambiguity about rights to generated images.
→ Payment and billing procedures will be undefined in the primary terms, creating potential confusion about fees and refunds.
→ Age verification and DMCA takedown procedures will lack contractual foundation unless reinstated in separate policies.

Track changes →Midjourney's removal of 13 substantive sections from its primary Terms of Service—including dispute resolution, DMCA policy, age requirements, payment terms, and community guidelines—creates governance ambiguity. If these provisions were moved to separate documents rather than deleted, the contractual framework may remain substantively similar but with reduced transparency and integration. If these sections were genuinely eliminated, the organization faces potential exposure under consumer protection frameworks (FTC Act Section 5 in US, UCTA in UK, GDPR Articles 7-8 for data processing clarity in EU) that typically require explicit contractual terms governing key rights and obligations. Immediate clarification is needed on whether these terms were deleted or relocated, and whether any removal creates gaps in required disclosures or consumer protections.
