Summary

These terms govern your use of Midjourney's AI image-generation platform. You own the images you create, but only if you meet the plan requirements for your revenue level, and you must grant Midjourney a permanent, royalty-free license to use and distribute anything you submit. Midjourney can suspend or ban your account at any time for any reason, will not refund your current subscription period if you cancel, and its financial liability to you is limited to what you paid in the prior 12 months.

Analysis

This document establishes the terms under which Midjourney provides its AI image-generation Services, defining the respective intellectual property rights, liability limitations, and behavioral obligations of both parties. Users are granted ownership of Assets they create to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to a revenue-based condition requiring companies exceeding $1,000,000 USD annually to subscribe to a Pro or Mega plan to retain that ownership. In exchange, users must grant Midjourney a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable copyright license covering all submitted Content. Midjourney disclaims all warranties—including title and non-infringement—on both the Services and Assets, caps its aggregate liability to fees paid by the user in the 12 months preceding a claim, and excludes all indirect, consequential, and exemplary damages. Both parties waive jury trial rights, and users bear indemnification obligations for third-party claims arising from their use.

What this means for you

As a user, you own the Assets you generate—subject to your subscription tier if your company earns more than $1,000,000 USD per year—but you permanently and irrevocably license all submitted Content to Midjourney. You receive no warranties that your Assets are free of third-party intellectual property claims. Midjourney may suspend or ban your access at any time for any reason without a stated notice or appeal process, and cancellations do not yield a refund for the current subscription period. Your financial recovery against Midjourney is limited to the fees you paid for the specific Services at issue in the 12 months before your claim, and you are responsible for covering Midjourney's costs and attorneys' fees if a third party brings a claim related to your use. You and Midjourney have both waived the right to a jury trial. If you want to review what plan applies to your revenue level, the document establishes the $1,000,000 USD annual revenue threshold as the condition requiring a Pro or Mega plan for Asset ownership.
