  I was blocked this morning for 10 minutes, then again for 12 minutes. A moderator decided this prompt **<****************************> <****************************> sharp glossy photograph, flat armpit-length bright-blonde-hair, 19-Year-old flat-figured, wearing a rainbow "***** 24" logo sweatshirt, crowd shot in a classroom looking at her iPhone, high resolution, super realistic, wide shot, shot with Canon K35 Prime Lenses, 70mm, no cartoon, no puffy hair --style raw violated content - somehow. I do not see how this is obscene or offensive. Do you want my business or not?

  I am a loyal MJ user. My account was blocked for no apparent reason today. I dont know the specific reason. My appeal has been fruitless. I hope there will be real customer service to communicate and solve the problem.

  Hello,I paid a sum of money to use an ** platform called Midjourney through the Discord server. I received a message from the ** Bot in Midjourney stating very vaguely that I violated their terms of service. The terms of service in which the Bot stated were "accessing their services via automation, scripting, or third party tools". I have not violated any of these terms, so I emailed them to try and find out more information. I received a return email stating that they cannot discuss specifics with me and that they are keeping the money I paid for the entire year and cancelling my account. Besides their customer service being horrible, they are taking my money and closing my account and accusing me of a terms violation when there has been no terms violation on my behalf. They have also not provided me with any proof of any terms violations.Thank you for your help in this matter.

  I was charged 288 dollars for a renewal, there is no way to cancel the subscription and get a prorated refunded. There is also no way to contact support. Circumstances change and I cant afford this service anymore. Making it difficult to get help is a scam to keep me subscribed.

  Dear Officer I hope this message finds you well. As a loyal user of **********************, I regularly subscribe to the membership at a rate of 30 per month.Due to my professional needs recently,I have found it necessary to upgrade to the 60 membership plan. I had reached out to midjourney support channel for assistance with the upgrade, and was informed that my payment method could not accommodate this change,and that I should send an email for further assistance.Following the instructions, I sent an email as requested. However, to my surprise, Midjourney officially banned my account the very next day. I had only subscribed to the $30 monthly membership few days ago and had barely utilized the service when I was abruptly removed from Midjourney's servers. This left me without the opportunity to inquire about the reasons behind this action, as there was no email explanation or refund provided. My account simply displayed a violation of the Terms of Service (ToS).I want to make it clear that Midjourney is a tool that makes images with the help of AI. All these images are kept and seen on the servers. I didn't make any pictures that break the rules of the community, like ones with violence or blood.I am very surprised and can't accept the sudden action by Midjourney. A big company like this in America should act responsibly and honestly with its customers. But it looks like they didn't follow these rules.I want my money back and I won't use this service again. I hope to stand up for my rights as a customer with your help.Thank you a lot.best regards.

  User's account has been banned by **********************, and access to our service is permanently revoked.
   
  Bans can occur for several reasons, including but not limited to:
  Severe or repeated violations of the Terms of Service or Community Guidelines: *********************************************************
  Automation, scripting, or using other prohibited means of interacting with Midjourney
  Reselling or subscription purchases made through third parties
  Fraudulent billing activity
  Account sharing or compromised accounts

  Please note that, per the Terms of Service *********************************************************, refunds are not issued for banned accounts. Your subscription has been canceled and you will not be charged again. This decision is permanent, and any attempt to evade it will not be tolerated.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The official only uses one reason to fob me off, and it's very overbearing. They don't give me a chance to appeal at all and just kick me out of the Midjourney server on Discord. Their reasons have no data to back them up, and all the reasons are just their own words. I insist that I have not violated any rules during the use process. I demand a refund of my fees.

  I purchase a subscription with Midjourney.com for a few months and I'm not longer using their services. I've canceled my subscription since. I live in **********, and I requested for my personal information and data to be deleted from their systems and databases. They have an online request form that I submitted back in November of 2023. It's been over 90 days, and the company has not responded or removed my personal data. I'm not asking for something they don't provide. The information on how to request for personal data to be deleted is outlined on their privacy-policy and Data Deletion FAQ: ********************************************************************** I'm asking for the company to respect my privacy and comply with removing all my personal information and data from their site as I no longer use their services. I'm attaching a copy of the email I received after I submitted my request.

  Complaint: 21476322
  
  I am asking to put this case on hold for 30 days: The vendor says they need 30 days to complete my request. I've already been waiting about 5 months, and this is the first time I've had any response from them. I'm glad to hear they are willing to comply. I'd like to wait until my request has been completed on their end with a confirmation. They said I can email ****************************** which I've done in the past and there was no response. That's the main reason I want to put this case on hold and be sure they will delete all my data from their systems and databases as requested.  
  
  Sincerely,

  Dear BBB Complaints Division,I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to file a formal complaint against Midjourney for their failure to provide a refund in accordance with consumer protection laws in *****************.I recently subscribed to Midjourney's AI service with the expectation that it would meet my needs as advertised. However, upon using the product, I discovered significant deficiencies, particularly in the generation of character fingers, which were not disclosed during the purchase process. This lack of transparency misled me into believing that the product would perform as advertised.Despite my attempts to request a refund based on the product's failure to meet my expectations and the lack of disclosure regarding its limitations, Midjourney has refused to provide a refund. Their refusal is in direct violation of consumer protection laws, which require companies to offer refunds for products that do not meet consumer expectations or are misrepresented during the sales process.Therefore, I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter. I request that the BBB investigate Midjourney's practices and take appropriate action to ensure that they comply with consumer protection laws. Additionally, I am requesting a full refund for the unused portion of my subscription in accordance with my rights as a consumer.I have attached relevant documentation, including correspondence with Midjourney, to support my complaint. Please let me know if you require any further information from my end.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt and favorable resolution.Sincerely,wangjianfeng

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Thank you for your response. However, I must express my continued dissatisfaction with the resolution provided. While I acknowledge your mention of usage exceeding the refund policy, I must emphasize that this policy limitation does not apply to my situation, which involves a request for a refund due to product quality issues.
  Having reviewed your terms of service through the provided link, I find that they do not explicitly outline the scenario where customers are denied refunds for product quality discrepancies. In fact, your terms fail to address how refund requests arising from such quality concerns are handled.
  I kindly request a thorough reassessment of my case and a reconsideration of the proposed resolution. My request for a full refund, in addition to the cancellation of my subscription, remains unchanged. I believe this is a reasonable request and within my rights as a consumer.
  Please review my case once more and provide a definitive decision on this matter. I am prepared to furnish any further supporting documentation if required.
  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
  
  Sincerely,

  As the best AI painting company in *****************, I greatly appreciate this company, so I subscribed to a membership and paid $1152. However, after more than a month, it showed that I was banned. I carefully read the relevant service regulations, but I did not find any mistakes in it. The company stopped the service after I paid $1152, and they did not tell us the specific details. They only said that I violated the agreement, But I have carefully read the content and there are no violations. The number of uses of this account is very small, and it has only been used for less than two months. Secondly, I called the bank, and they also said that the company has received this payment, which is not a problem. I plead with them to carefully investigate the reason for me, and I also hope to receive a refund for the remaining months. In the future, I will continue to support the company if there is an opportunity, I hope you can read my request carefully. Thank you

  I am rejecting this response because:I feel very regretful. They have been saying that I violated the service regulations, but after carefully reading the relevant service regulations, I am certain that this decision was wrong. I have always followed the service agreement, which is why I subscribed to the highest level of membership and recommended the software to countless friends around me. Now they believe that I violated the service regulations, which is a serious misjudgment. I hope to investigate it carefully, And I can provide consumers with a reasonable explanation, and I will further consult with federal lawyers. I believe the problem can be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you
