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.
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.
