Repeated failures in IVF cycles are not only emotionally devastating but can also lead to significant financial disputes when agencies refuse to refund large initial deposits. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we specialize in arbitrating high-value refund claims where Intended Parents seek to recover funds after a surrogacy or IVF program has proven unsuccessful. Many agency contracts in Tbilisi contain ambiguous "no refund" clauses or attempt to categorize all deposits as "non-refundable administrative fees." We challenge these classifications under the Civil Code of Georgia, arguing that fees paid for specific results—such as a confirmed pregnancy or a live birth—must be returned if those specific milestones are not achieved. We do not allow agencies to hide behind vague contractual language to unjustly enrich themselves at your expense.
Our approach involves a forensic audit of the financial liability clauses within your Master Agreement. We strictly interpret the definitions of "actual expenses" versus "agency fees." In arbitration, we demand proof of every lari spent by the agency; if they cannot document that your deposit was used for direct medical costs or surrogate compensation, we argue that retaining the balance constitutes a breach of contract. This is particularly critical in "Guaranteed Baby" programs, where the fine print often includes exit clauses that are financially punitive to parents who wish to switch providers after several failed attempts. We aggressively litigate these exit terms to ensure you can recover your remaining capital and move to a more competent provider.
We understand that time is of the essence in reproductive matters, which is why we prefer arbitration over standard litigation for refund claims. Arbitration allows us to bypass the years-long backlog of the Tbilisi City Court and secure a binding financial award in a matter of months. Our legal team is experienced in piercing the corporate veil if an agency attempts to declare insolvency to avoid paying refunds, seeking personal liability against directors where applicable under Georgian corporate law. By enforcing a strict, literal interpretation of financial obligations, we turn the contract’s terms into a tool for your financial recovery.
