What Changed

Midjourney removed the numbered table of contents from their Terms of Service on April 26, 2026. Previously, the document included a numbered list of topic headings (such as 'Service Availability and Quality,' 'Age Requirements,' 'Content Rights,' and others) that helped users navigate the document. While the underlying content of those sections may remain, the removal of this navigational structure makes it harder for users to quickly find specific policy areas.

Consumer Impact (what this means for users)

Midjourney's Terms of Service no longer includes a numbered table of contents that previously helped users navigate to key sections like Content Rights, Payment and Billing, and Age Requirements. This makes it more difficult for everyday users to quickly locate the parts of the policy most relevant to them. While the substantive terms may still exist in the document, reduced navigability is a transparency concern.

Why It Matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Removing the table of contents makes it harder for users to find critical sections like dispute resolution and content rights, which directly affect their legal standing. Reduced navigability in a legal document is a transparency concern, particularly for less experienced users.

Key Clauses Affected

Table of Contents / Navigational Index

The numbered list directing users to sections including Content Rights, Dispute Resolution, Payment and Billing, and Age Requirements has been removed, reducing document navigability.

Content Rights

Previously surfaced as a named, numbered section in the ToS index; no longer explicitly indexed at the document level.

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

Previously surfaced as a named, numbered section in the ToS index; no longer explicitly indexed, making it harder for users to locate arbitration and legal terms.

Institutional Analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Assessment

Midjourney removed 10 navigational heading entries (a numbered table of contents) from their Terms of Service on April 26, 2026. The document still contains 145 sentences, so substantive content likely remains. This touches transparency and accessibility expectations under consumer protection frameworks (e.g., FTC guidance on clear and conspicuous disclosures) but does not appear to alter substantive rights or obligations. No immediate compliance action is required, but legal should note the reduced navigability may draw scrutiny if regulators assess whether users can meaningfully understand terms.

Regulatory Exposure

1. FTC Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. § 45) — FTC guidance requires disclosures to be clear and conspicuous. Removing navigational structure reduces the conspicuousness of key policy sections like dispute resolution and data practices.
