Acceptance of Terms. HIFAM provides a marketing service where HIFAM listens to Moms and lets Moms be heard to make a difference in the marketplace. Moms are socially connected in the physical and virtual world and exercise powerful influence. HIFAM is dedicated to harnessing the powerful collective voice of Moms to help manufacturers shape, develop and sell products to her by 1) valuing her opinion; and 2) engaging her in meaningful two-way dialogue. HIFAM will be a dedicated product site, not another Mom lifestyle site. HIFAM is committed to reshaping the existing marketing model for products by empowering Moms to create ”Product Relays” whereby Moms try new products and can send samples of those new products to other Moms they believe would value them, free of charge. Subject to the availability of the products, Moms can send samples to as many or as few Moms as they like but have no obligation to send products on to other moms.
