What it is

Each person is allowed only one Midjourney account, automation and third-party scripts are prohibited unless Midjourney explicitly approves an exception, and users cannot share, resell, or redistribute access to the service.

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

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision restricts how users and organizations may access and use the service, with non-compliance resulting in account blocking, and it explicitly prohibits commercial redistribution of service access.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users with more than one account, or who use automation tools not explicitly approved by Midjourney, risk having their accounts blocked without a described appeals process; sharing account credentials with others is also prohibited under these terms.

"
Midjourney accounts are designed for individual use and each user may maintain only one account. With a few rare exceptions that are explicitly granted, Midjourney does not provide an API, nor provide third-party apps or scripts, and automating interactions with Midjourney service is strictly prohibited according to our Terms of Service. Accounts who do not comply with these rules may be blocked. You may not resell or redistribute Midjourney Services or access to the Service (this includes sharing your account).

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The anti-automation and single-account provisions are primarily governed by the Terms of Service rather than external regulation, though the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in the US context may be relevant where unauthorized automated access is alleged. The prohibition on reselling service access intersects with standard intellectual property and service contract law. The FTC may have interest in how these restrictions are communicated and enforced relative to consumer expectations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. For organizations seeking to integrate Midjourney into workflows, the prohibition on automation and the single-account rule create operational constraints that must be addressed through formal API or enterprise agreements. The provision notes 'a few rare exceptions that are explicitly granted,' but does not define a process for obtaining such exceptions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The CFAA is US-specific; EU and UK organizations should consult applicable computer misuse legislation (e.g., UK Computer Misuse Act 1990) for equivalent restrictions. The resale prohibition is broadly worded and does not carve out B2B licensing arrangements, which may create ambiguity for organizational procurement. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should confirm whether their intended use case requires API access or multi-user functionality, and should obtain explicit written authorization from Midjourney before deploying any automation. The prohibition on account sharing means organizational licenses must be structured through formally approved channels rather than credential sharing. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should conduct an internal audit of any existing Midjourney integrations to verify compliance with the anti-automation rule. The undefined 'rare exceptions' process should be clarified in writing with Midjourney before deployment. Legal teams should review whether the Terms of Service provides additional detail on approved API access mechanisms.
