TERMS OF USE
Last Updated: September 1, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Family Match Consulting, LLC (“Family Match Consulting,” “FMC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the content, forms, and features available through the website.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
These Terms apply only to use of our website. They do not replace or modify any separate written agreement for services between you and FMC.
ABOUT FAMILY MATCH CONSULTING
Family Match Consulting is an independent search and consulting firm that assists intended parents with egg donor, sperm donor, and surrogate searches, as well as related consulting and support services. Rarely, we also receive preliminary inquiries from women interested in becoming surrogates.
FMC is not a fertility clinic, medical provider, hospital, laboratory, surrogacy or donor agency, law firm, escrow company, or insurance broker. We do not provide medical, legal, tax, insurance, or other professional advice through this website.
We may provide information about or facilitate introductions to independent agencies, clinics, attorneys, and other professionals. These third parties are independent from FMC and have their own terms, fees, requirements, and responsibilities.
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES; NO GUARANTEES
The information provided on this website is for general informational and educational purposes only. Website content, including information regarding costs, timelines, matching, eligibility, and processes, should not be considered medical, legal, financial, insurance, or other professional advice.
Any costs, timelines, statistics, or examples described on the website are estimates or general information only and are not guarantees of any particular result.
Actual experiences vary based on individual criteria, availability, location, medical considerations, agency and clinic requirements, and other circumstances outside FMC’s control.
NO CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
Visiting the website, submitting a form, requesting a consultation, communicating with FMC, or receiving information from us does not create a client relationship.
A client relationship is established only after FMC and the client enter into a separate written agreement for services.
FMC reserves the right to determine whether to accept or provide services to any prospective client.
WEBSITE FORMS AND SURROGATE INFORMATION
The website may allow you to request a consultation, subscribe to communications, or submit a surrogate application.
If you submit information through the website, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and not intentionally misleading.
Surrogate applications are intended for women who are at least 21 years old. Submission of a pre-screen application does not guarantee eligibility, acceptance into a surrogacy program, or a match with intended parents. FMC is not acting as a surrogacy agency by receiving or reviewing an application.
Information submitted through our website may be used to respond to your inquiry, evaluate an application, maintain appropriate records, and for other purposes described in our Privacy Policy.
TESTIMONIALS AND RESULTS
Testimonials, client stories, match timelines, statistics, and examples appearing on the website reflect individual experiences or historical results.
They are provided for informational purposes only and do not guarantee or predict any particular outcome, match, cost, timeline, pregnancy, or other result.
