Midjourney can take action against your account, including banning you, even if you did not break any specific rule that is written down, as long as Midjourney decides your behavior went against the general intent of the guidelines.
This analysis describes what Midjourney's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
This provision reserves enforcement authority beyond the enumerated rules, meaning users cannot rely solely on the specific listed prohibitions to determine whether their conduct is permitted.
Users may have their accounts suspended or banned based on conduct not explicitly prohibited, with enforcement determined at Midjourney's sole discretion and no defined appeals process described in this document.

"This is not an exhaustive list. We may take action against users that violate the spirit of these guidelines, even if their actions are not explicitly prohibited.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Community Guidelines
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Open-ended conduct standards in consumer-facing platform agreements may engage consumer protection frameworks in the EU (Unfair Contract Terms Directive), UK (Consumer Rights Act 2015), and California (CLRA, UCL), which generally require that grounds for account termination be clear and conspicuous. The FTC has issued guidance on deceptive and unfair practices that may be relevant where enforcement is exercised inconsistently or without notice. Relevant enforcement authorities include the FTC (US), CMA (UK), and national consumer protection authorities across EU member states. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision creates indeterminate contractual obligations for users, which may complicate enterprise onboarding and user agreement compliance reviews. It does not fabricate specific enforcement precedent, but broadly-worded catch-all clauses in consumer agreements have attracted regulatory scrutiny in EU and UK jurisdictions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have heightened exposure given consumer contract transparency requirements. California residents may evaluate this under the CLRA and UCL. The provision is unlikely to be read as conferring unlimited enforcement authority in jurisdictions with mandatory fairness standards for consumer contracts. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations licensing Midjourney for commercial use should note that this provision could result in account termination affecting business operations without a clearly defined triggering condition. Procurement teams should assess whether this indeterminacy is acceptable under enterprise risk standards and whether a formal API or enterprise agreement with defined SLAs is available. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review whether user-facing communications adequately disclose this open-ended enforcement authority. In jurisdictions requiring specific grounds for service termination, this clause may require supplemental disclosure or modification. Compliance teams should document the standard for 'spirit of the guidelines' in internal policy to ensure consistent enforcement.
