What is a split?
Early termination / Pushing
Stay fair and give other splits a chance to be noticed as well. Early termination and re-posting is not allowed and is considered pushing. This is especially true for splits that have just been restarted. If you absolutely want a fragrance or want to redeem discounts, you should just buy it and not make the purchase dependent on a split. You can always sell the leftovers in the souk.
60-day rule in the souk
A split is automatically closed after 60 days. If a split is still current and should be continued, a new split can be opened whenever you please. However, it does not mean that all splits may be reopened immediately. Kindly consider whether you want to continue to hold the split. It may also be that a split you are hosting is simply not attracting much interest.
Please note that split of large bottles can generally take longer.
