Summary
These are the rules you agree to when using Midjourney to create AI-generated images and videos. You own the images you create, but you give Midjourney a permanent, free license to use them, and if your business earns over $1 million per year, you need a paid Pro or Mega plan to actually own your output. If you have a legal dispute with Midjourney, you cannot sue in court — you must go through private arbitration and you waive your right to a jury trial.
Technical Summary
This Terms of Service agreement (effective February 12, 2026) governs all use of the Midjourney platform, including AI-generated images, videos, and other assets produced via midjourney.com, Discord, or other access points. Key provisions include a broad, perpetual, royalty-free copyright license granted to Midjourney over all user-submitted content and generated assets; user asset ownership conditioned on subscription tier for commercial entities (requiring Pro or Mega plans for companies exceeding $1M annual revenue); mandatory binding arbitration under AAA Expedited Commercial Rules with jury trial waiver; a one-year statute of limitations on claims; no-refund policy for the current subscription period upon termination; and broad indemnification obligations on users. The document incorporates by reference Community Guidelines, a Privacy Policy, and Subscription Plan terms, all of which form part of the binding agreement.

Consumer impact
Midjourney's Terms of Service no longer includes a numbered table of contents that previously helped users navigate to key sections like Content Rights, Payment and Billing, and Age Requirements. This makes it more difficult for everyday users to quickly locate the parts of the policy most relevant to them. While the substantive terms may still exist in the document, reduced navigability is a transparency concern.
Why it matters
Removing the table of contents makes it harder for users to find critical sections like dispute resolution and content rights, which directly affect their legal standing. Reduced navigability in a legal document is a transparency concern, particularly for less experienced users.
What changed
Midjourney updated their Midjourney Terms of Service on April 19, 2026. Change detected: 13 sentence(s) added. Document contained 158 sentences after update.
Consumer impact
Midjourney added a numbered table of contents to their Terms of Service, organizing the document into ten clearly labeled sections covering service availability, age requirements, content rights, payments, and more. This structural change makes the terms easier to navigate but may also reflect underlying revisions to individual sections that users should verify. You can review the updated Terms of Service directly on Midjourney's website, paying particular attention to sections on Content Rights and Payment and Billing.
Why it matters
The restructuring of Midjourney's Terms of Service into labeled sections makes the document easier to navigate, but also signals potential substantive updates to key areas like content rights and data practices. Users and businesses relying on Midjourney should review the full updated document to confirm their rights and obligations have not materially changed.
