Does Home Depot allow AI agents?

Dispute this

Terms §2 treat extracting/scraping/mining Site info as prohibited reseller activity; §3 reserves the right to limit orders placed by automated processes. Page undated (copyright line © 2016–2025). No 'AI agent' wording on main ToU. HD Repair Parts terms also ban robot/spider/automated access (separate property).
