1. What the programme is
The Antega Fertility Support Programme is an engagement-based support programme for Antega members. Positions are decided solely by ranking verified Support Seed totals, and tie-breaks follow the published rules in these Terms. Seeds cannot be purchased. Support Seeds may be spent in the Antega shop and, where Antega permits, transferred to another member; Lifetime Seeds record the qualifying Seeds a member has personally earned and never reduce through spending, transfers or a Support Period reset.
Members earn qualifying Seeds by engaging meaningfully with their Antega fertility journey. At the end of each Support Period, the qualifying member with the highest verified Support Seed total becomes the provisional Fertility Support Recipient, subject to verification and these Terms.
2. Who can take part
To be eligible for Fertility Support, a member must:
- hold an active, paid Antega membership (Hope, Growth or Family) that is not suspended, unpaid or cancelled at the close of the Support Period;
- be aged 18 or over and resident in a country where Antega has enabled the programme;
- have earned their qualifying Seeds genuinely, in line with section 3 and section 9;
- complete Antega's verification, including membership, identity and eligibility checks;
- be receiving, or intending to receive, treatment or services from an appropriately qualified fertility provider, with costs evidenced by a provider invoice where required;
- respond to their award notification within the period stated in that notification.
Members of Antega staff, their immediate households, and anyone able to influence Seed values or rankings are not eligible. Support cannot be transferred, exchanged or assigned to another person.
3. Support Periods
A Support Period currently lasts 3 months, and there is currently 1 Fertility Support Recipient per Support Period. Antega may change the length of a Support Period or the number of recipients for future Support Periods; any change is published before the affected Support Period begins.
Support Seeds reset to zero for every member once a Support Period has been finalised and ranked, at the start of the next Support Period. Lifetime Seeds are unaffected and remain part of the member's Antega account.
4. Qualifying Seeds
Qualifying Seeds represent genuine, measurable engagement. Trivial actions — signing in, opening a page, dismissing a notification or refreshing content — cannot by themselves produce a leading total. Daily activity forms only part of the available qualifying Seed opportunity; a leading total requires sustained participation across several areas of Antega.
Qualifying activities and their Seed values are published before a Support Period begins, apply equally to all memberships, and remain fixed for the duration of that Support Period other than genuine corrections. Any correction is recorded with a reason, the authorising administrator, the date and time, and the value before and after.

Some Antega activities build Lifetime Seeds only and do not affect Fertility Support ranking. These are identified in the member dashboard.
5. Membership and Seeds
Membership does not award Seeds. Hope, Growth and Family members earn Seeds in exactly the same way, by completing the approved Seed-earning activities available through Antega. Paying for a higher membership level never produces more Seeds and never improves a member's Fertility Support position.
Antega does not operate any recurring, monthly or joining Seed allocation. Seeds are credited only when a member completes one of the published Seed-earning activities, at the published value for that activity. Starting, renewing, upgrading or downgrading a membership creates no Seed credit.
A member's membership level determines the features, access, resources and the level of Fertility Support they may be eligible for. It has no effect on how many Seeds the member can earn or on their position in the Fertility Support ranking. Seeds credited under earlier programme rules remain recorded in the member's Seed history and are not removed.
6. How the recipient is determined
When a Support Period ends, Support Seed totals are frozen, a snapshot is taken and the ranking is calculated. The highest verified total becomes the provisional recipient. Antega then verifies the member's activity, eligibility, Support Period Membership Level and qualifying costs before confirming them as the Fertility Support Recipient.
Where two or more members finish level, these tie-break rules apply in order:
- Highest verified Support Period Seed total.
- Highest number of completed qualifying Daily Journey activities.
- Highest number of completed qualifying learning activities.
- Longest qualifying consistency streak.
- Earliest member to reach the final tied Seed total.
If the highest-ranked member does not meet the published requirements, the next highest-ranked qualifying member is reviewed. No replacement is ever selected at random.
7. Support Period Membership Level
Your Support Period Membership Level is the membership you hold when the Support Period begins, or the membership you joined on if you join after it has begun. If you upgrade during a Support Period, your normal upgraded membership benefits may activate immediately, your qualifying Seeds continue as usual, but your Fertility Support level for the current Support Period does not increase. The higher support level applies from the next Support Period if the higher membership is still active when it begins.

Antega sets country-specific Hope Garden support limits in local currency. These limits are reviewed periodically and do not change automatically with daily exchange-rate movements. The maximums above are the approved values for this country. The maximum that applies to you is the one approved for your registered Antega country; values shown for another country do not apply and no currency conversion should be inferred. Any change to a country's support maximum applies prospectively and does not retrospectively alter a support entitlement already confirmed.
These amounts are maximum values. They are not guaranteed payments. In particular:
- actual support may be lower than the maximum value;
- support cannot exceed verified eligible costs;
- support is not an automatic cash payment and is not automatically payable in full;
- support is subject to programme eligibility and recipient verification;
- support is subject to the rules for the relevant Support Period and to available programme funding;
- support is limited to qualifying treatment and support costs;
- where practicable, Antega pays the approved fertility clinic or provider directly;
- unused support is not automatically paid to the recipient as cash, and any difference between verified eligible costs and the maximum value has no automatic cash value;
- membership itself does not guarantee support.
Clinical decisions remain a matter between the member and an appropriately qualified fertility provider. Antega does not provide medical advice or make treatment decisions.
9. Verification and payment
Verification may include confirming Antega activity records, membership status, identity, eligibility and the treatment or support costs being claimed. Antega records the recipient, Support Period, membership, Support Period Membership Level, applicable support level, approved provider, treatment category, verified eligible cost and the amounts approved, committed and paid. Sensitive treatment information is never published.
10. Fraud, abuse and account suspension
Qualifying Seeds are validated on Antega's servers. Duplicate awards, repeated submissions, manipulated timestamps, direct calls to completion endpoints, automated or bot-like behaviour, duplicated activity records and fraudulent or duplicate accounts are prohibited. Antega may withhold or reverse qualifying Seeds, suspend participation, disqualify a member from a Support Period or close an account where these Terms are breached.
11. Programme changes and corrections
Antega may change the programme configuration for future Support Periods, including the Support Period length, the number of recipients, qualifying activities and support levels. Changes are not applied retrospectively in a way that disadvantages members participating in an active Support Period. Administrative corrections are logged in an immutable audit record.
12. Countries
The programme operates in every published Antega country. Your participation is governed by these Terms together with the programme configuration for your registered Antega country, which determines the currency, the approved maximum values and any country-specific rules or compliance requirements. Your registered Antega country — not your location at the time you browse or travel — decides which country configuration applies to you. Country-specific supplements will be published where local law requires them.
Antega makes no claim that the programme is approved by, exempt from or outside the scope of any particular regulator.
13. Privacy
Rankings shown to members are anonymous: no member's name, diagnosis, treatment, location, clinic, age or other personal information is shown to other members. Personal data is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
14. Complaints and contact
If you have a question or complaint about the programme, please contact the Antega team. We aim to respond to programme queries within five working days.
