Territory & Rights Management
Release-by-Release Rights & Territorial Availability
Rights and territorial availability are determined on a release-by-release basis. FlipDistro provides the catalogue for territories where it holds the necessary authority, and territory information is supplied at the catalogue level for each release.
This approach ensures that partners only receive catalogue for territories where FlipDistro has the rights to distribute. Each delivered release carries an explicit territory rights list (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes), so partners can programmatically filter and route catalogue to the correct regional storefronts.
