Introduction

Welcome to Help Create Families’ Referral Program! These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your participation in our referral program (the “Program”). By participating in the Program, you agree to comply with these Terms.
The Program is designed to reward our valued partners (referred to as “Referral Partners” or “you”) for referring eligible individuals or entities (referred to as “Referrals” or “Referred Parties”) to Help Create Families. Please carefully read and understand these Terms, as they outline the rules and guidelines for participating in the Program.

Eligibility and Enrollment

• Eligibility: Participation in the Program is open to individuals, organizations, and entities who meet the eligibility criteria outlined below.
• Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible to participate as a Referral Partner, you must:
  • Be of legal age and capable of entering into binding agreements.
  • Not be a minor in the jurisdiction where you reside.
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Referral Process

• Making Referrals: As a Referral Partner, you can refer eligible individuals or entities to Help Create Families. Referrals must meet the eligibility criteria set forth in these Terms.
• Tracking Referrals: Referrals must be properly tracked through the unique referral links or codes provided to you by Help Create Families. It is your responsibility to ensure accurate tracking.
• Crediting Referrals: Referrals will be credited to your account when they meet the conditions specified by Help Create Families, including but not limited to successful sign-ups, purchases, or other milestones.

Compensation and Payments

• Compensation: Referral Partners may be eligible for compensation as outlined in the Program details provided by Help Create Families. Compensation may vary based on the type and success of referrals.

Misrepresentation and Fraud

• You agree not to instruct or encourage any applicant to misrepresent their circumstances or provide inaccurate information in their application to the Help Create Families and related programs. Doing so constitutes a material violation of these Terms and Conditions and may be considered fraudulent activity by the applicants themselves.
• Misrepresentation can include, but is not limited to: providing false or misleading information about their compensation, eligibility, medical conditions, financial situation, or other relevant details.
• Such actions not only compromise the integrity of the program and potentially deprive truly deserving families of support, but also expose our organization and legal team to unnecessary risk and workload. We are committed to operating with the highest ethical standards and ensuring only eligible individuals benefit from the program.
• Therefore, instructing applicants or other referral partners to provide inaccurate information is grounds for immediate removal from the program.

Consequences

• Consequences of Misrepresentation: Engaging in misrepresentation, fraud, or any unethical conduct in connection with the Program will result in severe consequences. Help Create Families takes such matters seriously, and the consequences may include, but are not limited to:
  • Immediate removal from the Program.
  • Disqualification from receiving any compensation or benefits.
  • Legal actions as deemed necessary.
• Reporting Misrepresentation: If you become aware of any Referral Partners or individuals engaging in misrepresentation or fraudulent activities related to the Program, it is your responsibility to report such activities to Help Create Families immediately.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for misrepresentation and fraud. We value integrity and honesty in all interactions with Help Create Families. By participating in the Program, you agree to abide by these principles and the prohibition against misrepresentation and fraud.

Your cooperation in maintaining the integrity of the Program is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact us at [email protected]. 

As an advocate representing Physician’s Surrogacy, whether you’re in person or online, it’s important for you to remain respectful and polite despite what response or negative comment you might receive. We understand negative feedback can be very frustrating, which is why we want to help you shut down these comments right from the start. By responding in a genuine and heartfelt manner, rather than letting your emotions get to you, you have the opportunity to help someone understand the WHY behind advocacy. Try some of these responses next time you’re faced with a negative comment.

We recommend putting your own personal touch to all responses to sound organic and less prefabricated. The more you can bring in your own experiences or personal reasons for choosing advocacy, the better!

If at any point you feel stuck or are unsure how to respond, don’t hesitate to text the Coordinator (858-295-0848) a screenshot, “Hey can you help me respond to this comment? What should I say?” Don’t be embarrassed! We know it happens and would love to help navigate you out of a sticky situation. We’re here to help!
