What it is

If Midjourney terminates your account for violating its Community Guidelines, you will not receive a refund for any unused portion of your current subscription 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 agreement authorizes account termination for any reason, including Community Guidelines violations, without a pro-rated refund for the remaining subscription period, which may interact with automatic renewal and consumer protection laws in certain jurisdictions.

Interpretive note: Enforceability of no-refund clauses on termination for cause varies by jurisdiction; California ARL and EU consumer law may impose additional obligations not reflected in this clause.

The updated terms establish a Community Localization program that permits users to submit translations and localization content. By submitting translations, users irrevocably assign all rights, title, and interest (including intellectual property and moral rights waiver where applicable) to Midjourney. The terms state that Midjourney may use, modify, monetize, or reject translations for any reason, and may suspend or terminate participation at any time. Users provide translations voluntarily without expectation of compensation or attribution. You can choose whether or not to participate in the Community Localization program; submission of translations is optional and governed by these new terms.
