- ✅ 不接受”一次性 70%+“
红线
❌ 一次性付款 50%+ → 中介跑路风险 ❌ 未注明退款机制 ❌ 加价机制不透明(如”代母配对失败”加额外费用)
四、条款 4:成功定义
这是合同最容易”模糊”的部分,务必明确。
不同”成功”定义

❌ “All remaining embryos become Agency property”(机构占有胚胎) ❌ 胚胎处理无客户决策权 ❌ 客户离世后胚胎归属不明
十一、条款 11:性别选择

|---|---|---|
| 客户终止 | Phase 1-2:无条件 | Phase 1-2 退款 90%,Phase 3+ 比例退 |
| Phase 3+:有偿终止 | 退款比例随阶段降低 | |
| 机构终止 | 代母医疗紧急 | 客户负担实际成本,剩余退款 |

十六、签合同前的 6 步流程

- 索取至少 7 天审查期
Step 3: 找你的独立律师
- 必须是 ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) 专业
- 不接受机构推荐的律师
- 美国:$2-5K 审查费,值得
Step 4: 律师审查 + 提出修改
- 通常 3-7 个修改点
- 机构若拒绝核心修改,警示信号
Step 5: 双方签字 + 公证
- 美国加州:必须公证(根据 § 7962)
- 部分国家无需公证但建议
Step 6: 文件多重备份
- 原件 / 电子件 / 律师存档 / 客户云端十七、谁是好的代孕律师

十八、常见误区
- “机构推荐的律师我就用” —— 错。利益冲突,独立律师必需
- “模板合同改一点点就行” —— 错。每个客户情况不同,合同须个性化
- “我看英文懂个大概就够” —— 错。法律语言需专业律师解读
- “代孕都是这个套路,合同看个意思” —— 错。1 个不利条款可能损失数十万美元
- “先签了再修改” —— 错。签后修改极难
- “中介保证有问题包退” —— 看合同写没有,中介口头不算
- “美国合同都靠谱” —— 错。美国也有低质机构,合同同样需审
