Collectively, the above named person(s) are the “Intended Parent(s)” or “Client(s)”.

Collectively, the Intended Parent(s) and True Match Surrogacy Ltd. are the “Parties” and individually a “Party”.

1.1 The Intended Parent(s) wish to pursue an altruistic surrogacy arrangement and may seek to connect with a potential surrogate through the TMS platform and related administrative, educational, and support services. TMS provides administrative support services, educational resources, and a private members’ platform that may allow Intended Parent(s) and potential surrogates to make self-directed introductions. TMS does not provide legal services or medical services and is not a party to any agreement between the Intended Parent(s) and any surrogate.

1.2 NO AGENCY / NO FIDUCIARY. The Parties acknowledge and agree that TMS does not act as an agent, representative, fiduciary, or legal guardian for the Intended Parent(s) or for any surrogate. TMS does not have authority to bind the Intended Parent(s) or any surrogate, and does not control any medical, legal, or personal decisions made by any intended parent, surrogate, clinic, physician, counsellor, lawyer, or other third party.

1.3 SELF-DIRECTED DECISIONS. Any decision to communicate, meet, collaborate, or proceed with assisted reproduction is made solely and independently by the Intended Parent(s) and the surrogate (and, if applicable, the surrogate’s spouse/partner), with advice from their own medical and legal professionals.

“AHRA” means the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, S.C. 2004, c. 2, as amended.

“Reimbursement Regulations” means the Reimbursement Related to Assisted Human Reproduction Regulations, SOR/2019-193, as amended.

“BC Family Law Act” means the Family Law Act, S.B.C. 2011, c. 25, as amended.

“Match” / “Self-Match” means a situation where the Intended Parent(s) and a potential surrogate mutually indicate that they wish to explore proceeding together and communicate directly (with or without TMS administrative support).

“Match Date” means the date on which a Self-Match occurs.

“Surrogate” means a woman who agrees to carry a child for the Intended Parent(s) as part of an altruistic surrogacy arrangement. The Surrogate may have a spouse/partner.

“Surrogacy Agreement” means a separate written agreement between the Intended Parent(s) and the Surrogate (and, if applicable, the Surrogate’s spouse/partner) addressing the terms of their surrogacy arrangement, including reimbursement of expenses, informed consent, dispute processes, and the parties’ intentions regarding parentage, as applicable to the province/territory of birth.

“Platform” means TMS’s members’ website, profile system, communications tools, forms, and related administrative processes.

“Services” means the services described in Section 4 and Schedule 1.

“Fees” means the non-refundable fees described in Section 6 and Schedule 2.

“Escrow/Seed Trust Account” means an account established and administered by a third-party service provider (or lawyer/notary) for the purpose of holding funds used solely for reimbursements and other authorized surrogacy-related disbursements in compliance with applicable law and the Surrogacy Agreement.

3.1 Altruistic Surrogacy Only. The Parties acknowledge that commercial surrogacy is prohibited in Canada. TMS will not pay, offer to pay, or advertise payment to a woman to be a surrogate, and TMS will not provide any monetary incentive for surrogate recruitment.

3.2 No Consideration for Arranging Surrogacy. The Parties acknowledge that the AHRA prohibits accepting consideration for arranging the services of a surrogate. The Intended Parent(s) acknowledge and agree that any Fees paid to TMS are for administrative, educational, and support services, including access to the Platform and TMS’s time and operational costs, and are not paid in exchange for procuring, securing, guaranteeing, or arranging a surrogate. No term of this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied in a manner that violates the AHRA or any applicable regulations.

3.3 Expense Reimbursement Compliance. Any reimbursement to a Surrogate (or others, where permitted) must comply with the AHRA and the Reimbursement Regulations, including (as applicable) receipted expenses and required written certification for reimbursement of lost work-related income. TMS may, upon request, provide escrow fund management services in accordance with the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHRA) and the applicable Reimbursement Regulations, and in conjunction with the parties’ surrogacy agreement. However, the Intended Parent(s) acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for obtaining independent legal advice to ensure that all reimbursements and payments comply with the AHRA and its Regulations.

3.4 Parentage and Province of Birth. Parentage is determined by the laws of the province/territory where the child is born and/or where court proceedings may be brought. If the child is born in British Columbia, the BC Family Law Act contains provisions addressing parentage in assisted reproduction and surrogacy arrangements. TMS does not provide legal advice regarding parentage and the Intended Parent(s) must retain independent legal counsel experienced in assisted reproduction and surrogacy law in the relevant jurisdiction(s).

3.5 Mandatory Independent Legal Advice (“ILA”). TMS requires (and the Intended Parent(s) agree) that prior to any embryo transfer, the Intended Parent(s) will retain their own lawyer and the Surrogate will retain her own separate lawyer to provide independent legal advice and to negotiate, finalize, and execute the Surrogacy Agreement, unless the applicable jurisdiction’s law permits otherwise and independent counsel confirms in writing that ILA is not required in the circumstances. TMS does not receive referral fees from lawyers or other professionals.

4.1 Scope. During the Membership Period (Section 5), TMS will provide the Services described in Schedule 1. Services may include: intake and onboarding; profile creation support; access to the Platform; educational resources; referrals to third-party professionals; and, where requested, administrative coordination and communications support.

4.2 No Medical or Legal Services. TMS does not provide medical assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or counselling. TMS does not provide legal advice, draft legal agreements for the Intended Parent(s) or Surrogate, or represent any Party in legal proceedings. Any medical or legal information provided by TMS is general information only and not a substitute for independent professional advice.

4.3 Third-Party Providers. TMS may provide referrals to IVF clinics, counsellors, insurance brokers, escrow providers, and lawyers. All third-party providers are independent, and the Intended Parent(s) contract directly with them. TMS is not responsible for third-party acts or omissions.

4.4 No Guarantee. TMS does not guarantee that the Intended Parent(s) will find a Surrogate, that any Surrogate will proceed, that an embryo transfer will occur, that pregnancy will result, or that any pregnancy will result in a healthy child or a live birth.

5.1 Membership Period. Membership begins on the Date of Agreement and continues until the earliest of: (a) completion of Services following a live birth (as described in Schedule 1); (b) termination under Section 8; or (c) mutual written termination by the Parties.

5.2 Pause. The Intended Parent(s) may request that membership be placed on pause. While paused, Platform access may be limited and active support services may be suspended. Any pause does not create a right to a refund.

5.3 Responsiveness and Archiving. The Intended Parent(s) agree to respond to TMS communications within 14 days where a response is reasonably required to progress Services. If no response is received within 30 days, TMS may archive the Intended Parent(s) account and pause Services until the Intended Parent(s) re-engage in writing.

6.1 Fees. The Intended Parent(s) will pay the Fees set out in Schedule 2. Fees are payable upon signing unless otherwise stated in Schedule 2.

6.2 Non-Refundable Nature of Fees. Because TMS incurs operational costs and provides access and services immediately upon onboarding, Fees are generally non-refundable except as expressly set out in Section 8. Nothing in this Agreement limits any statutory rights that cannot be waived.

6.3 Taxes. Applicable taxes (including GST where required) will be added based on the Intended Parent(s)’ residency and applicable law.

6.4 No Fee for Surrogate / No Fee Sharing. No portion of TMS Fees is paid to a Surrogate. TMS does not share Fees with Surrogates or pay recruitment incentives.

7.1 Accurate Information. The Intended Parent(s) warrant that all information provided to TMS is true, accurate, and not misleading. The Intended Parent(s) will promptly update TMS if material information changes.

7.2 Professional Conduct. The Intended Parent(s) will communicate respectfully with TMS staff, potential surrogates, and all professionals involved.

7.3 Multi-Agency Disclosure. The Intended Parent(s) must provide written notice to TMS if they are working with more than one agency or more than one surrogate at any time.

7.4 Clinic and Screening Timelines. After a Self-Match, the Intended Parent(s) agree to use reasonable efforts to proceed with clinic screening and embryo transfer planning in a timely manner, subject to medical advice, clinic scheduling, Surrogate circumstances, and legal readiness.

7.5 Escrow Funding. Where an Escrow/Seed Trust Account is used, the Intended Parent(s) agree to fund it in accordance with advice from their fertility lawyer and the Surrogacy Agreement. TMS may recommend maintaining a minimum balance, but the Intended Parent(s) acknowledge that the appropriate amount is fact-specific and must be determined with legal and financial advice.

8.1 Termination by Intended Parent(s). The Intended Parent(s) may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice. Fees remain non-refundable except where Section 8.4 applies or where TMS agrees in writing to a discretionary partial refund.

8.2 Termination by TMS for Cause. TMS may terminate this Agreement for cause if the Intended Parent(s): (a) materially breach this Agreement and fail to cure within 10 days of written notice; (b) engage in harassing, threatening, discriminatory, or defamatory conduct toward TMS staff or any surrogate; (c) create a credible safety risk to a surrogate; or (d) provide materially false or unlawful information.

8.3 Immediate Suspension for Safety. Where TMS reasonably believes there is an urgent safety risk to any person, TMS may immediately suspend Services and Platform access while investigating. TMS will provide written notice of the suspension and, where appropriate, an opportunity to respond.

8.4 Limited Refund Where TMS Terminates Without Cause. If TMS terminates this Agreement without cause (for reasons not attributable to the Intended Parent(s)), TMS will refund the pro-rated portion of Fees corresponding to Services not yet reasonably provided, less any non-recoverable onboarding and administrative costs disclosed in Schedule 2.

9.1 Privacy Law. TMS collects, uses, and discloses personal information in accordance with British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”) and, where applicable, federal privacy law. TMS will provide a privacy notice describing categories of information collected (including IP address and platform logs), purposes, retention, and the Intended Parent(s)’ rights.

9.2 Confidentiality. The Intended Parent(s) must keep all surrogate profile information strictly confidential and use it solely for the purpose of pursuing surrogacy in accordance with this Agreement. The Intended Parent(s) must not copy, screenshot, forward, publish, or share surrogate profiles or communications except with the surrogate’s express written consent or as required by law.

9.3 Platform Security. The Intended Parent(s) must keep login credentials secure and must immediately notify TMS of any suspected unauthorized access.

10.1 Assumption of Risk. The Intended Parent(s) acknowledge that assisted reproduction and surrogacy may involve medical, psychological, legal, financial, and relational risks, including failed cycles, miscarriage, pregnancy complications, disagreement between parties, and legal uncertainty in cross-border or interprovincial situations.

10.2 Limitation of Liability (to the fullest extent permitted by law). Except for liability that cannot be excluded by law, TMS will not be liable for indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TMS’s total aggregate liability arising from or related to this Agreement will not exceed the Fees actually paid to TMS under this Agreement.

10.3 No Warranty as to Outcomes. TMS disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding: availability or suitability of any surrogate; medical outcomes; legal outcomes; enforceability of any Surrogacy Agreement; or decisions made by any surrogate or third party.

11.1 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Intended Parent(s) release TMS, its directors, officers, employees, and contractors from claims arising from: (a) decisions made by the Intended Parent(s) or any surrogate; (b) acts or omissions of independent third parties; and (c) inherent risks of assisted reproduction and surrogacy, except to the extent caused by TMS’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11.2 Indemnity. The Intended Parent(s) will indemnify and hold harmless TMS from third-party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from the Intended Parent(s)’ breach of this Agreement, unlawful conduct, defamation, harassment, misuse of Platform content, or non-compliant reimbursement practices, except to the extent caused by TMS’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11.3 Independent Legal Advice Acknowledgment. The Intended Parent(s) acknowledge that this Agreement includes provisions that limit legal rights (including release and limitation of liability) and confirm that they have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice.

12.1 Good Faith Resolution. The Parties will attempt to resolve disputes in good faith through written notice and senior-level discussion.

12.2 Mediation. If not resolved within 30 days, either Party may require mediation in British Columbia (unless the Parties agree otherwise) with a mutually agreed mediator. Each Party will bear its own costs and share the mediator’s fees equally, unless otherwise agreed.

12.3 Court Proceedings. Nothing prevents a Party from seeking urgent injunctive relief to protect safety, confidentiality, or intellectual property rights.

13.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including schedules) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties regarding TMS Services and supersedes prior discussions.

13.2 Amendments. Any amendment must be in writing and signed by all Parties.

13.3 Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be severed and the remainder will remain in effect.

13.4 Assignment. The Intended Parent(s) may not assign this Agreement without TMS’s written consent. TMS may assign this Agreement in connection with a corporate restructuring or sale of substantially all assets, subject to privacy law.

13.5 Notices. Notices must be provided by email and/or courier to the addresses above (or updated in writing). Email is deemed received on the next business day after sending, unless a delivery failure notice is received.

13.6 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The Parties attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia.

13.7 Counterparts and Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and delivered by electronic signature, each of which is deemed an original.
