LetsBeParents

Terms of Use

Effective date: April 21, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and BYITSMART DOO, the operator of the LetsBeParents website at letsbeparents.com, the LetsBeParents mobile applications for iOS and Android, and any related admin, partner, and communication features (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

READ CAREFULLY, SECTIONS 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, AND 19 CONTAIN IMPORTANT MEDICAL AND LEGAL DISCLAIMERS, AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK, A RELEASE OF CLAIMS, A LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY, AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

2. Eligibility

The Service is intended only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older and have the full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. By registering, you represent that you meet these requirements. We reserve the right to remove any account we reasonably believe does not meet them.

3. Account Registration & Security

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep it updated. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate any account we believe has been compromised or used in violation of these Terms.

4. What the Service Is, and What It Is Not

LetsBeParents is a communication and matching platform that helps adults interested in alternative routes to parenthood (including prospective parents, egg and sperm donors, surrogate mothers, and co-parenting partners) find and talk to one another.

We are not, and do not provide, any of the following:

  • A fertility clinic, sperm bank, egg bank, or surrogacy agency.
  • A medical, psychological, counseling, or health-care provider.
  • A law firm or licensed legal adviser.
  • A background-check, dating, or introduction service.
  • A facilitator or broker of gamete donation, surrogacy, or any other reproductive arrangement.

We do not perform medical screening, genetic testing, infectious-disease testing, psychological evaluation, identity verification (beyond an optional third-party check you can opt into), or legal review of any User, Arrangement, or private agreement. We do not supervise meetings, communications, or transactions between Users. We make no representation or warranty about the identity, background, health, genetic profile, intentions, or fitness of any User.

Nothing in the Service constitutes medical, legal, psychological, financial, or other professional advice. Information presented through the Service (including user-generated content, questionnaires, and editorial content) is for general informational and communication purposes only and must not be relied upon as a substitute for qualified professional advice.

5. Mandatory Use of Qualified Professionals

Reproductive arrangements, including gamete donation, surrogacy, co-parenting, and conception, carry serious medical, genetic, legal, financial, and emotional risks that cannot be mitigated by online communication. You agree that before acting on any connection made through the Service you will, at your own expense and at your own risk, seek independent guidance from:

  • A licensed fertility clinic or reproductive-medicine specialist for all medical screening, infectious-disease testing, genetic testing, fertility evaluation, assisted-reproduction procedures, and pregnancy care.
  • A licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction for all matters of parentage, custody, donor anonymity, pre-birth orders, contracts, and financial arrangements.
  • A licensed mental-health professional where emotional, psychological, or family-dynamics implications are involved.

You agree that you will not use the Service as a substitute for clinical or legal services. Private, unregulated, or "home" arrangements are strongly discouraged and undertaken entirely at your own risk and responsibility.

6. User Representations, Warranties, and Responsibilities

By using the Service you represent, warrant, and agree that:

  • Every statement you make, and every piece of content you upload, is truthful, accurate, and not misleading;
  • You are not subject to any legal restriction, injunction, or court order that would prohibit any arrangement you are pursuing;
  • You have no known medical or genetic condition that would make a proposed arrangement unsafe, unlawful, or harmful to another person, a donor, a surrogate, or a prospective child, absent appropriate medical supervision;
  • You will obtain all medical screening, testing, and professional clearances that a responsible fertility clinic would require before acting on any connection made through the Service;
  • You will comply with all laws applicable to you and to any arrangement you pursue, including laws on gamete donation, surrogacy, parentage, compensation, advertising, data protection, and export controls;
  • You are solely responsible for verifying the identity, circumstances, fitness, and trustworthiness of any other User before meeting them, exchanging genetic material, entering into any agreement, or transferring any money;
  • You will indemnify and hold harmless other Users and LetsBeParents from any harm caused by a material misrepresentation you make in your profile or in communications.

We may remove any account, profile, or content at our discretion if we reasonably believe it breaches the above. This is for platform integrity only and is not a medical, legal, or fitness determination.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Harass, threaten, deceive, defraud, coerce, stalk, or abuse any other User;
  • Create a fake, stolen, impersonated, or misleading profile (including "catfishing");
  • Use the Service while under the age of 18 or on behalf of anyone under 18;
  • Use VPNs, proxies, or other tools to conceal your location in a way that misleads other Users;
  • Solicit or offer commercial sale of gametes, embryos, surrogacy services, or any other reproductive material or service in violation of applicable law;
  • Upload sexually explicit content, nudity, or sexually suggestive material;
  • Upload content that depicts or appears to depict a minor in any sexualized way, such content will be reported to law-enforcement authorities without notice;
  • Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, harassing, obscene, deceptive, or invasive of another's privacy;
  • Send spam, chain letters, bulk unsolicited communications, or commercial advertising;
  • Infringe any intellectual-property, trademark, publicity, or privacy right;
  • Scrape, crawl, copy, reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise extract data from the Service except through features we explicitly make available;
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or any code intended to disrupt or damage the Service;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data;
  • Continue contacting a User who has asked not to be contacted or who has blocked you;
  • Use the Service from, or on behalf of a person located in, a country or region subject to a comprehensive U.S. OFAC embargo.

In addition to the general prohibitions above, Members are NOT permitted to:

  • Sexually solicit, proposition, or harass other members, including requests for "natural insemination," sexual encounters, or romantic relationships outside the legitimate family-building purpose of the platform.
  • Request anonymous arrangements or misrepresent their identity. Verified identity is required for all members engaging with potential donors, surrogates, or intended parents.
  • Contact minors, or any person lacking the legal capacity to consent to a fertility arrangement.
  • Post obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit content.
  • Use the platform for commercial brokering, human trafficking, child purchase, or any other unlawful purpose.
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, dox, defame, or discriminate against other members on any basis, including sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, or disability.

7.1. Compensation and legal arrangements

Members must comply with the laws of their jurisdiction regarding compensation for gametes, surrogacy, and related services.

  • In jurisdictions where compensation is permitted (such as many US states for egg donation and gestational surrogacy), payment must be transparent, agreed in writing, and free from coercion or exploitation.
  • In jurisdictions that limit payments to reasonable expenses (such as the United Kingdom for surrogacy and gamete donation), members may not request or offer compensation exceeding those lawful limits.
  • Payment in exchange for sexual contact is never a legitimate fertility arrangement and is strictly prohibited.
  • Members are strongly advised to engage a licensed fertility clinic and seek independent legal counsel before entering any compensated arrangement.

7.2. Affirmative duties

Members must:

  • Treat other members with respect and dignity.
  • Use the services of a licensed fertility clinic where applicable, to ensure proper health screening and protect legal parentage rights.
  • Seek independent legal advice in their own jurisdiction before entering any donor, surrogacy, or co-parenting arrangement.
  • Report any harassment, misconduct, or suspected illegal activity to us immediately via the contact form on our website or the in-app Support chat.

7.3. Enforcement

Violations of this Prohibited Conduct section result in immediate and permanent termination of the account without refund. We reserve the right to report violations to law enforcement in any applicable jurisdiction and to cooperate fully with investigations. We may preserve relevant account data (including messages, photos, and logs) beyond the ordinary retention period where required by law or a law-enforcement request.

8. Your Content and License to Us

You retain ownership of the profile details, photos, messages, and other material you submit to the Service ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant LetsBeParents a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, and promoting the Service. This license ends when you delete the relevant User Content, except to the extent the content has been shared with other Users or retained in backups or for legal-compliance reasons.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not infringe any third-party right.

9. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

The Service is free to use on a basic tier. Premium features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions on iOS are billed by the Apple App Store and on Android by Google Play under the terms of those stores and the payment method on file with your account.

  • Prices and renewal terms are shown inside the app before purchase.
  • Subscriptions auto-renew at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period through the relevant store.
  • Refunds are handled by the store where the subscription was purchased, according to that store's policy. LetsBeParents does not process refunds directly.

If we add web-based billing, we will disclose pricing, renewal, and cancellation terms at the point of purchase.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service uses third-party service providers (for example, for cloud hosting, automated photo moderation, identity verification, push notifications, transactional email, and app-store billing). Their services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies, over which we have no control. We are not responsible for the availability, acts, or omissions of any third party. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement.

11. Assumption of Risk and Release of Claims

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY INTERACTION, MEETING, AGREEMENT, OR ARRANGEMENT WITH ANOTHER USER, WHETHER INITIATED THROUGH THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE, IS UNDERTAKEN ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You expressly assume all risks associated with use of the Service and any resulting in-person or private interaction, including but not limited to: the transmission of infectious disease; genetic or hereditary conditions; disputes over parentage, custody, or support; the enforceability or unenforceability of private agreements; financial loss; emotional distress; criminal, civil, or immigration consequences; physical harm; and failure of any attempted pregnancy.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and discharge LetsBeParents and its parents, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your use of the Service, (b) your interactions with other Users, (c) any Arrangement you pursue or decline to pursue, or (d) the acts, omissions, or misrepresentations of any other User.

  • LETSBEPARENTS AND ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, FERTILITY OUTCOMES, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  • OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LetsBeParents, its parents, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; (d) your infringement of any third-party right; or (e) your interactions with any other User, including any Arrangement you pursue.

15. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you download the iOS app from the Apple App Store, the following applies in addition to these Terms:

  • These Terms are between you and LetsBeParents only. Apple Inc. is not a party to these Terms.
  • Your use of the iOS app must comply with the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • LetsBeParents, not Apple, is solely responsible for the iOS app and its content, including maintenance, support, warranties (to the extent any apply), and claims relating to the iOS app.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the iOS app.
  • Apple will refund the purchase price of the iOS app, if any, to you in the event of a failure of the iOS app to conform to any applicable warranty.

  • LetsBeParents is solely responsible for addressing any product or intellectual-property claim relating to the iOS app.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted party list.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, will have the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. Google Play Additional Terms

If you download the Android app from Google Play, your use of the app is additionally governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google LLC is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to provide support for the app. Refunds for in-app purchases made via Google Play are handled according to Google Play's policy.

17. DMCA and Copyright Complaints

We respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice via our contact form containing:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it;
  • Your contact information (address, telephone, email);
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or authorized to act on the rights-holder's behalf.

If content you submitted is removed as a result of a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice. We will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

18. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time through the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, that your continued use poses a risk to other Users, or that termination is required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 20, and 21, will survive.

19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Montenegro, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, will be finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), which rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this clause. The arbitration will be conducted before a sole arbitrator, in the English language, with the seat of arbitration in London, England. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. Disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You agree not to bring, join, or participate in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action against LetsBeParents. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of different users and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding.

Carve-outs. Nothing in this Section requires arbitration of: (a) small-claims-court actions (or the equivalent in your jurisdiction) that remain in small-claims court; (b) claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment, which may be pursued in court under the U.S. Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 or any analogous statute; (c) applications for injunctive or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration; or (d) any other claim that applicable law does not permit to be arbitrated. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written opt-out notice through our contact form within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

Consumer-protection rights. If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws grant you non-waivable rights (including the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence under Articles 17–19 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 or Article 6 of Regulation (EC) 593/2008), nothing in these Terms limits those rights. You may pursue such claims in your local courts under your local law notwithstanding the governing-law and arbitration provisions above.

20. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, pandemics, government action, internet or infrastructure outages, and failures of third-party service providers.

21. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and LetsBeParents regarding the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intent as closely as possible while remaining enforceable.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Notices. We may provide notices to you by email, by in-app message, or by posting on the Service. You may provide notices to us through our contact form.
  • Headings. Are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
  • Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or professional (including medical, legal, or fiduciary) relationship between you and LetsBeParents.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by in-app notice, by email, or by updating the effective date above before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

23. Contact

Questions, complaints, legal notices, and rights requests under these Terms may be submitted through our contact form.
