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.
