Am I morally or contractually obliged?
 

Usually, I write down the aisle and bay of something I see on
HomeDepot.com and plan to buy, and it's been accurate. This time I
noticed that it offered to text me those things. In case I forgot to
bring them with me, I clicked on Text me.

Based on what it said on the screen, below, am I morally or
contractually obliged to accept text messages for any minimum length of
time?

"Contractually" meaning, Will they refuse to let me cancel the texts or
will they take back my discount if I don't meet a minimum time?

"Morally" I don't need to explain to most of you and probably can't to
any others.

As Nancy Reagan said "Just say no".

Looks to me like you can cancel any time with no penalty

I was all ready to go with what you said, and then it turned out they
sent me two texts.

One said Replay Y to get automated in-store product location at this
number. No purchase necessary.

So I sent back a Y and it wrote back: Thanks for texting the HOME DEPOT
In-Store Product Location Program. We didn't understand your message.

So I sent them a Y with a carriage return, and got the same answer.

Dang in my first post, I left out the $5 it would give me for signing up
-- hence the quandry -- but it turns ou tthat's only on a $50 purchase.

I give up. I'm glad I wrote the location down. ;-(
