We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you in writing of the extension period and the reason for it. Midjourney will deliver any required or requested responses or other communications in writing to you by email. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. If applicable, the response we provide will also explain any reasons we cannot comply with a request. For data portability requests, Midjourney will provide your personal information in a format that is readily usable and transferable. Midjourney does not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless such requests become excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. If we determine that a request warrants charging a fee, we will notify you and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

dispute terms

Latest stance: arbitration or waiver

**In the event a dispute, controversy, or claim arises out of or relating to these Terms (“Dispute”), the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court.** The parties will first try in good faith to settle any Dispute within 30 days after the Dispute arises.

The parties will mutually select one arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in English in Santa Clara County, California, USA. By agreeing to mandatory arbitration as set forth herein, You and Midjourney knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim, except that either party may apply to any competent court for injunctive relief necessary to protect its rights pending resolution of the arbitration. The arbitrator may order equitable or injunctive relief consistent with the remedies and limitations in the Agreement. The arbitral award will be final and binding on the parties and its execution may be presented in any competent court, including any court with jurisdiction over either party or any of its property.
