This clause conditions asset ownership rights on subscription tier based on organizational revenue, creating a differentiated service model where higher-revenue entities must commit to premium plan status to access ownership functionality.
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.

This creates significant IP risk for business users who have not reviewed their subscription tier against this threshold.

"If you are a company or any employee of a company with more than $1,000,000 USD a year in revenue, you must be subscribed to a "Pro" or "Mega" plan to own Your Assets.— Excerpt from Midjourney's Midjourney Terms of Service
This revenue-based tiered ownership structure creates material IP compliance risk for corporate users. Legal and procurement teams must verify subscription tier against the $1M revenue threshold and ensure the appropriate plan is in place; failure to do so may result in assets being used commercially without valid ownership rights, exposing the organization to third-party IP claims.
