What it is

The terms state that Midjourney's moderation decisions are made unilaterally at the company's discretion, that community access and product access may be revoked independently, and that feedback is considered but moderation outcomes are not subject to a formal participatory process.

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
