This Agreement governs the relationship between the Agency and the Surrogate after completion of screening and following the Surrogate’s voluntary election to proceed.

The parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) surrogacy in Canada is altruistic in nature; (b) no consideration, payment, or benefit is paid or accepted for acting as a surrogate or for arranging surrogacy; (c) the Agency does not offer, and the Surrogate does not receive, compensation for surrogacy services; and (d) any reimbursements are strictly limited to eligible reimbursable expenses permitted under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act and the Reimbursement Related to Assisted Human Reproduction Regulations, as set out in Schedule A.

The Agency may provide education regarding the surrogacy process, coordination with intended parents, clinics, counsellors, and legal professionals, and administrative and communication support. The Agency does not provide legal or medical advice.

The Surrogate retains full bodily autonomy and sole authority over medical decisions. Nothing in this Agreement obligates the Surrogate to undergo any medical procedure or treatment.

5.1 The Surrogate may be reimbursed only for eligible out-of-pocket expenses directly related to the surrogacy process, as permitted by Canadian law and as specifically described in Schedule A – Reimbursable Expenses Schedule (British Columbia), in accordance with the contract between the surrogate and intended parents.

5.2 No reimbursement shall be made unless: (a) the expense is listed or contemplated in Schedule A; (b) the expense is reasonable and directly related to the surrogacy process; (c) appropriate documentation (including receipts, invoices, or statutory declarations where required) is provided; (d) the reimbursement complies with all applicable federal regulations and guidance, and (e) the reimbursable expense is listed in the surrogacy contract between the surrogate and intended parent.

5.3 The Surrogate acknowledges that reimbursement of an expense is not automatic and is subject to legal compliance and contract review.

5.4 Nothing in this Agreement or Schedule A creates an entitlement to reimbursement, nor shall any reimbursement be construed as compensation or consideration for surrogacy.

Each party shall maintain the confidentiality of non-public information obtained through this relationship, subject to legal, medical, or safety-related disclosure obligations.

The Surrogate shall notify the Agency in writing immediately of any concern, dispute, complaint, or dissatisfaction relating to the Agency’s services, operations, policies, or personnel. This notice is intended to support prompt resolution and does not limit any legal rights or remedies.

This Agreement may be terminated: (a) by either party without cause upon written notice; or (b) immediately for material breach, safety concerns, or legal non-compliance. Termination does not affect confidentiality or accrued rights and obligations.

The parties agree to: (1) written notice of dispute; (2) good-faith negotiation; and (3) mediation in British Columbia before commencing litigation, unless urgent relief is required.

The Surrogate acknowledges having had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and either has done so or has knowingly declined.

Except for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or breach of confidentiality, the Agency’s liability is limited to losses reasonably foreseeable under British Columbia law.

Any notice under this Acknowledgement must be in writing and delivered by email. Notices to the Agency shall be delivered to hello@truematchsurrogacy.ca. Notices to the Applicant shall be delivered to the email address provided above, unless updated in writing.

The following schedule is attached to and forms an integral part of this Agreement: Schedule A – Reimbursable Expenses Schedule (British Columbia). In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and Schedule A, this Agreement shall prevail.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
