> So you would work directly with them and have the choice of either keeping the sample frozen there, or transferring it to a facility of your choice

That reads pretty much as "good luck with that!" to me, I'm sorry. People would pay you exactly because they would never have a facility of their choice and in case it goes sour they would probably have to face a ridiculous price tag from some other new company not truly interested in keeping their sperm but that just happened to be part of your risk hedging or simply of a insurance deal.

Hey - I hear you, but I don't think that's entirely fair. We are obviously building a company that we believe will go far, and will be around for decades, but we recognize there's no guarantee that will happen.

In a worst case scenario, folks could keep their sample frozen where it is and pay retail rates at those facilities instead of the wholesale rates we offer.

We are real people who care a lot about the people who are using their service, and their ability to have kids in the future. We would genuinely do everything we could to support.

It wasn't fair in the slightest, having a plan in place for your company going under is more than many have and shows foresight.

Not having kids but good look with your business :).
