How the program ends

A program ends on dates, not on a surprise. When the team sets them, the Refuge and the shop show each one for two weeks before it arrives, in this order:

1. Ships close. After this moment no new ship is accepted. Anything already in review still gets its verdict, and is still paid.
2. Reviews end. The last verdicts are recorded. Ship well before this, so yours is decided in time.
3. The shop closes. No new orders after this; orders already placed are still fulfilled.
4. Stars expire. At least thirty days after the last review, so everyone who was paid at the end has had time to spend. Anything unspent after this is gone.
5. Every order is on its way. The promise on the banner: the day by which the last parcel has left and the last grant has been sent.

What does not close

Logging in, your projects, the bulletin, Explore and the guides. The site stays readable after the shop and the stars are gone.

Until then

None of these dates exist until the team sets them, and the banners only appear when one is within two weeks. If you see no banner, nothing is ending.
