# Release

[](#)  [ Hotel Direct Contract ](https://guides.netstorming.net/en/hotel-direct-contract)      Release    

## Release

This section, if filled in, overrides the default values set in the [Allotment](https://guides.netstorming.net/en/hotel-direct-contract/allotment#:~:text=Release)

![](https://guides.netstorming.net/en/user/pages/05.hotel-direct-contract/18.release/2025-06-19_15-18.png)

- **From** / **To**: dates when the release is valid
- **Release**: indicates the number of hours (H) and/or days (D) before check-in within which the room, if unsold, can be released. If both values are set, they will be added together. IMPORTANT: Take into account the value set in [Release Time](https://guides.netstorming.net/en/hotel-direct-contract/contract#:~:text=Release%20Time:)
- **Max Release**: the room becomes available only if the request is made no more than N hours (H) and/or days (D) before check-in. If both values are set, they will be added together. This is typically used for "Last Minute" deals: for example, if you want a contract to become available only starting 2 days before check-in, you can set the max release to 48H or 2D. IMPORTANT: if the values in Max Release are the same as those in Release, no availability will be released
- **Flex Allotments Only**: if checked, the release set applies only to [flex allotments](https://guides.netstorming.net/en/hotel-direct-contract/extra-allotment) and not also to allotments
- **Split**: if selected, it allows you to insert a new period of release, inside a period previously inserted
- **Delete**: if selected, enables to delete the release rows already inserted
