You are not allowed to use Midjourney to build competing products, reverse engineer how the service works, use bots or automated tools to generate images, resell access, share accounts, or hold multiple accounts.
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
The agreement prohibits a range of commercial and technical activities including automated access, competitive development, and account sharing, violations of which may result in account suspension or termination under the agreement's enforcement provisions.
Interpretive note: The scope of 'competitive products or services' is not defined in the agreement, creating ambiguity about which business use cases fall within the prohibition; EU reverse engineering rights may limit enforceability of that restriction in certain jurisdictions.
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.
