This license is perpetual and irrevocable, meaning Midjourney retains broad rights to the user's Content even after the user stops using the Services.
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.
View change record →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.
View change record →Users are required to grant Midjourney extensive and permanent rights over their Content as a condition of using the Services.
