What it is

If Midjourney terminates your account or you cancel your subscription, you will not receive a refund for the time remaining in your current billing period.

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)

The clause defines the refund policy framework by creating a distinction between the current billing cycle and future cycles, establishing that subscription charges accrue without mid-period refund availability but terminate automatically at period conclusion.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Apr 26, 2026

Midjourney removed substantial sections from its Terms of Service covering age requirements, content rights, DMCA policy, dispute resolution, payment and billing, and community guidelines. The removal of these section headers and their substantive content means users no longer have explicit written guidance on these critical areas within the primary terms document. This creates operational uncertainty about what terms now govern these areas: whether they were relocated to separate policies, consolidated elsewhere, or eliminated entirely cannot be determined from this change summary alone. The absence of explicit terms on dispute resolution, age verification, and content rights represents a material change in contractual transparency.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Consumers who are suspended or banned, even if they dispute the reason, forfeit any prepaid subscription fees for the remainder of the billing period. This policy, combined with Midjourney's broad discretion to suspend accounts, creates financial risk for users.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The no-refund-on-termination policy combined with broad discretionary account suspension rights may warrant review under state consumer protection statutes and automatic renewal laws, particularly California's ARL (Business & Professions Code §17600 et seq.), which imposes specific disclosure and cancellation obligations.
