CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SWEEPSTAKES

OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MAKING A PURCHASE WILL NOT
INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

Entry into this Sweepstakes constitutes your acceptance of these Official Rules.

DATES OF SWEEPSTAKES: The “Home Depot 2024 Q1 U.S. Customer Satisfaction Sweepstakes” (the
“Sweepstakes”) begins at 12:00 a.m. Central Time (“CT”) on January 29, 2024 and ends at 11:59 p.m. CT on
April 28, 2024 (the “Sweepstakes Period”).

ELIGIBILITY: This Sweepstakes is open only to permanent legal U.S. residents of one of the fifty (50) United
States or the District of Columbia (including residents of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam), at
least eighteen (18) years of age or older at time of entry (“Entrant”). The Entrant who is selected as the potential
prize winner (the “Prize Winner”) must have a unique, personal, and valid social security number for Sponsor
(defined below) to report the tax liability associated with acceptance of the prize (“Prize”). Valid social security
number will be determined by Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) requirements as further defined in the “Prize
Claims” section of these Official Rules. Officers, directors, managers and employees of Home Depot Store
Support, Inc. ("Sponsor"), and each of its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies,
dealers, advertising and promotion agencies, including companies providing marketing and market research
services to Sponsor or its client(s), consultants and agents, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents,
siblings and children) and household members of each such person, and any others engaged in the
development, production, execution or distribution of this Sweepstakes, including American Sweepstakes &
Promotion Company, Inc. (the “Independent Administrator”), are not eligible to participate. Sweepstakes is void
in Puerto Rico, and wherever else restricted or prohibited by law.

HOW TO ENTER: There are two (2) ways to enter the Sweepstakes. Regardless of the method used to
enter the Sweepstakes, either via online entry via the Survey (defined below), via online entry via the
Survey after a Completed Store Transaction or AMOE (defined below) or via a combination of the two
(2) entry methods, there is a limit of forty-five (45) entries per person during the Sweepstakes Period.
a) Online entry via the Survey after Completed Transaction: Complete the survey (the “Survey”)
between 12:00 a.m. CT on January 29, 2024 and 11:59 p.m. April 28, 2024 by visiting the Home Depot
website located at www.HomeDepot.com/survey (the “Website”). When prompted, select your
preferred language, and submit your zip code, then submit the unique user ID (“User ID”) and password
(“Password”) located on a receipt obtained by completing one (1) of the following transactions at a
participating The Home Depot Retail Location or online at www.HomeDepot.com when the product(s)
purchased is picked up at a participating The Home Depot location (each a “Transaction”): (a) a
purchase, (b) a return, or (c) an exchange. PLEASE NOTE: Entrants may utilize receipts from multiple
Transactions to enter this Sweepstakes. For example, if a receipt is issued for a purchase, the User ID
and Password found upon that receipt may be used to enter this Sweepstakes. If the purchase is later
returned or exchanged, a new receipt will be issued, and the User ID and Password found upon that
receipt may also be used to enter this Sweepstakes. Receipts are valid for use in the Survey for
fourteen (14) days from the date of the Transaction (as noted on the applicable receipt). *After entering
the unique User ID and Password, complete the Survey in its entirety, by submitting your answers to
the Survey questions. When you have completed the Survey, and when prompted, complete the official
Sweepstakes entry form (the “Entry Form”) in its entirety, including your first name, last name, e-mail
address and telephone number (including area code). Then, press the “Next” button to receive one (1)
entry into the Sweepstakes. Survey must be completed by 11:59 p.m. CT on April 28, 2024. To be
eligible and receive your Entry into the Sweepstakes, you must complete the entire Survey, the Entry
Form and click on the “Next” button. If you do not complete the Survey, the Entry Form and click the
“Next” button, you will not receive an entry into the Sweepstakes and therefore will not be eligible to win
a Prize.

*NOTE: The User ID and Password found upon your receipt is only valid for fourteen
(14) days from the date of the Transaction (as noted on the applicable receipt). If an
Entrant’s User ID and Password expire prior to the end of this Sweepstakes, such

1
 Entrant may enter by either, (a) completing another Transaction during the
Sweepstakes Period to receive a new receipt; or (b) via the “AMOE” listed below. For
example: If an Entrant completes a Transaction and receives a receipt dated February 1,
2024, he/she may use the User ID and Password found upon the receipt to access the Survey
and receive entry into the Sweepstakes through 11:59 p.m. CT on February 14, 2024. If
he/she does not use the User ID and Password to access the Survey by 11:59 p.m. CT on
February 14, 2024, he/she will not be eligible to receive an entry into the Sweepstakes via the
online entry method with this receipt. In such case, and if desired, he/she can receive an entry
via a new receipt by completing another Transaction during the Sweepstakes Period or via
the AMOE as outlined below. Consequently, if the User ID and Password expire after this
Sweepstakes has ended, the Entrant may only use the User ID and Password to enter
this Sweepstakes through the end of the Sweepstakes Period. For example: If an Entrant
completes a Transaction and receives a receipt dated April 25, 2024, he/she may use the User
ID and Password to solely access the Survey until 11:59 p.m. CT on April 28, 2024. Entries
are subject to User ID and Password validation and verification. Only one (1) entry per User
ID and Password will be accepted. In addition, if the Entrant’s transaction takes place during
the Sweepstakes Period, and the Sweepstakes Period ends without the Entrant taking the
survey, the Entrant’s Transaction can still be used to enter into a subsequent sweepstakes (if
one is conducted) if (i) the User ID and Password found on the Entrants receipt is still valid
(i.e., the date of the receipt is within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Transaction), and
(ii) the Transaction falls within the sweepstakes period for such subsequent sweepstakes.

During the Sweepstakes Period the Sponsor may send a Customer an email invitation after a
Transaction to take the Survey. However, this method of completing a Survey will NOT qualify
for an entry into the Sweepstakes.

b) Without taking the Survey via the Alternate Method of Entry (“AMOE”): To enter the Sweepstakes
without completing the Survey you may enter by mail as follows: On a 3" x 5" card, legibly handprint or
type your first name, last name, e-mail address, telephone number (including area code), and consumer
category (either Consumer or Pro) and mail your 3” x 5” card in a business size envelope to:

ASC/ Home Depot 2024 Q1 U.S. Customer Satisfaction Sweepstakes

PO Box 430
Macedon, NY 14502-0430

All AMOE entries must be postmarked by April 28, 2024 and received by May 5, 2024. Limit one (1) entry per
envelope. Each envelope is considered one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. Multiple entries submitted or
completed by anyone other than the Entrant are void. No mechanical reproductions will be accepted. AMOE
entries must contain all entry fields to be entered, otherwise void.

Any attempt by an Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different
addresses, and/or any other methods will void that Entrant’s entries and that Entrant may be disqualified from
the Sweepstakes. Entries submitted by anyone other than the Entrant are void. Neither the Sponsor, nor
Independent Administrator will verify receipt of entries for Entrants. All entries submitted become the sole
property of Sponsor and will not be returned. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, illegible,
damaged, or postage-due mailed entries.

RANDOM DRAWING/NOTIFICATION: On or about May 6, 2024, one (1) Prize Winner will be selected in a
random drawing conducted from among all entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. The random
drawing will be conducted by a Sponsor representative, whose decisions are based upon his/her sole
discretion and interpretation of these Official Rules and are final and binding in all respects.

A potential Prize Winner will be notified by the Sponsor by email and/or phone within 5 business days of the
Draw Date (“Notification”). Please check your email and spam filters. In the event the Potential Prize Winner
fails to respond to the Notification within 5 business days of the Sponsor’s first attempt to contact the potential
winner or if it is determined by Sponsor and/or Independent Administrator, in their sole discretion, that a
potential Prize Winner is not eligible in accordance with these Official Rules, an alternate Prize Winner will be

2
selected at random from among the remaining non-winning eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes
Period. In such case, he/she will be notified as outlined above. Sponsor will not be responsible for failed
attempts to contact a selected Entrant.

ODDS OF WINNING: The odds of being selected as the Prize Winner will depend upon the total number of
eligible entries received within the Sweepstakes Period.

PRIZE: One (1) Prize of a $5,000 Home Depot Gift Card will be awarded to the Prize Winner (“Prize Winner”).
The approximate retail value (“ARV”) of the Prize is five thousand dollars ($5,000).

The Prize is subject to the terms of the conditions of the gift card itself. Prizes cannot be substituted, assigned,
or transferred; except at Sponsor’s sole discretion or as otherwise provided herein. Sponsor will not replace
any lost or stolen Prizes. The Prize is taxable as income and the Prize Winner is solely responsible for all
applicable federal, state, and local taxes, including taxes imposed on his/her income. No more than the stated
number of Prizes set forth in these Official Rules will be awarded. All Prizes will be awarded.

PRIZE CLAIMS: Except where prohibited, the potential Prize Winner must complete, sign, and return an
“Affidavit of Eligibility/Liability/Publicity Release Form” (the “Release”) and an IRS Form W -9 (collectively, the
“Required Documents”), within 5 business days of receiving the Release by the Independent Administrator. If
a potential Prize Winner fails to return the Required Documents within 5 business days of receiving the Release
by the Independent Administrator, potential Prize Winner forfeits his/her right to the respective Prize and
another Prize Winner will be selected at random from among the remaining non-winning eligible entries
received. The Potential Prize Winner must report income to the IRS. In the event it is deemed during the
verification process that the potential Prize Winner does not have a unique, personal, and valid social
security number for Sponsor to report the tax liability associated with acceptance of the Prize, such
potential Prize Winner will be disqualified, and another Prize Winner selected as outlined above. Valid
social security numbers will be determined by IRS requirements. The Sponsor (or a party acting on its
behalf) must report the value of the Prize to the IRS in the year the Prize is received by the Prize Winner
and will be reported to the Prize Winner and the IRS in the form of a Form 1099. The Prize Winner
consent (and, except where prohibited, agree to sign any additional documents required by Sponsor to
formalize, effect or perfect such consent) to Sponsor’s use of his/her name, likeness (photograph and/or video),
biographical information, and voices in advertising/publicity/trade without compensation, notice or approval;
and, Prize Winners disclaim any ownership rights of such advertising/publicity/trade material (TN residents will
not be required to sign a publicity release as a condition of winning a Prize). The Prize will be awarded within
six (6) to eight (8) weeks from the date in which the Required Documents are received.

and the decisions of the Sponsor, which shall be final and binding with respect to all issues relating to this
Sweepstakes. Should any portion of the Sweepstakes be, in Sponsor’s sole discretion, compromised by non-
