Midjourney added a table of contents restructuring its Terms of Service on May 2, 2026, organizing existing and new sections under ten labeled article headings including Service Availability, Age Requirements, Content Rights, DMCA Policy, Dispute Resolution, Payment and Billing, and Community Guidelines. This is a structural reorganization and clarification of the terms rather than a substantive change to user rights or obligations, though the explicit addition of these topic areas indicates Midjourney is now formally organizing previously scattered or implicit policies into numbered, accessible sections.
The updated Terms of Service now organize policies under ten explicitly labeled sections rather than presenting them as unstructured text. This change does not alter the substantive rights or obligations of users, but makes existing policies more discoverable and structured. The reorganization formally establishes sections addressing age requirements, content rights, DMCA takedowns, dispute resolution, payment and billing, and community guidelines, which may have existed previously in less organized form.
The reorganization makes Midjourney's terms more structured and discoverable by consolidating policies under clear headings, particularly around age requirements, content rights, DMCA procedures, and dispute resolution. While this does not change substantive rights or obligations, it improves accessibility and may strengthen Midjourney's compliance posture by formally organizing previously scattered policy language.
Midjourney now explicitly establishes an age requirements section, indicating formalization of age-gating or COPPA-related compliance.
Explicit section now governs intellectual property ownership and licensing for generated content.
Formal section establishes takedown procedures and DMCA safe harbor compliance.
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
This change is a structural reorganization of Midjourney's Terms of Service rather than a substantive modification of user rights, obligations, or corporate authority. No new legal commitments, restrictions, or permissions are created by the reorganization itself. Organizations using Midjourney should verify that the substantive language within each reorganized section remains consistent with prior versions and complies with applicable consumer protection law, COPPA age verification standards (where applicable), DMCA compliance requirements, and dispute resolution frameworks in their operating jurisdictions. The reorganization may improve compliance documentation and user accessibility, which could support regulatory defensibility.
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) if age-gating enforcement is unclear; FTC Act Section 5 (unfair or deceptive practices) if terms are substantively altered during reorganization; DMCA Section 512 (takedown procedures) if DMCA section language diverges from statutory safe harbor requirements.
