The agreement conditions asset ownership for business users on maintaining a qualifying subscription tier, meaning that a change in subscription level or company revenue crossing the threshold without a corresponding plan upgrade results in loss of IP ownership claims under these terms.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of contractual conditions on copyright ownership varies by jurisdiction, and the interaction with US Copyright Act principles for AI-generated works remains legally unsettled.
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.
