What it is

If you work for or own a company that makes more than $1 million USD per year, you must be on a Pro or Mega subscription plan to legally own the images and videos you generate with Midjourney.

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

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Apr 26, 2026

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Commercial entities above the revenue threshold that are not on qualifying plans do not own the assets they generate, potentially invalidating their use of those assets in products, marketing, or other commercial contexts. This creates significant IP risk for business users who have not reviewed their subscription tier against this threshold.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

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.
