Midjourney removed 13 substantive section headers from its Terms of Service in an update detected on August 19, 2026, including sections on Service Availability, Age Requirements, Content Rights, DMCA Policy, Dispute Resolution, Payment and Billing, Liability Limitations, and others. The document structure was reorganized to display a navigation menu of documentation categories instead. The operational effect is unclear from the diff alone, as removing section headers does not necessarily mean the underlying provisions were deleted, but the change restructures how the terms are organized and presented.
