The Home Depot Seeds Program

The Home Depot Seeds Program ("Seeds" or "Seeds Program") is a program that enables a select group of the Home Depot customers to post opinions about new and pre-released items to help their fellow customers make educated purchase decisions. Customers are invited to become Seeds Members based on the trust they have earned in the HomeDepot.com community for writing accurate and insightful reviews. The Seeds Program provides Members with free products that have been submitted to Seeds by vendors or The Home Depot. Since Seeds Members will receive access to products that are not yet available on the market, their opinions may be among the first posted on a product's detail page. The Home Depot does not influence the opinions of Seeds Members, nor do we modify or edit their reviews.
