"Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled before the renewal date. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize Midjourney to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription fee. You are responsible for canceling your subscription before renewal if you do not wish to be charged.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Auto-renewal billing practices engage the FTC's Negative Option Rule and state auto-renewal laws, including California's Automatic Renewal Law (ARL), which requires clear disclosure, affirmative consent, and easy cancellation mechanisms. The FTC has increased enforcement activity against subscription services that make cancellation difficult. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Auto-renewal is standard in subscription software, but the adequacy of disclosure at point of signup and the accessibility of the cancellation mechanism are key compliance variables. Non-compliance with California's ARL can result in the subscription being deemed an unenforceable gift. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's Automatic Renewal Law imposes specific disclosure and cancellation requirements that may create heightened compliance obligations. EU consumers have rights under the Consumer Rights Directive regarding pre-contractual information for digital service subscriptions. New York and other states have enacted similar auto-renewal disclosure statutes. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should verify that Midjourney's renewal notification and cancellation mechanisms meet applicable state law standards before deploying at scale. The billing authorization granted under this clause should be reviewed for scope relative to price change notifications. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether Midjourney's pre-purchase disclosure of auto-renewal terms satisfies the FTC Negative Option Rule and California ARL requirements. Consumers who were not clearly notified of auto-renewal may have grounds to dispute charges through their payment provider.
