Marketing Rights

Specifying marketing rights allows you to inform booksellers in which countries they may distribute your project, in which countries distribution is restricted, and in which countries the product may not be distributed at all.

Products may, in accordance with ONIX specifications, have a specific set of marketing rights (code list 46).

Please note: Metabooks will only show Metabooks relevant marketing rights.

Metabooks relevant marketing rights include:

CodeSales right type
01For sale with exclusive rights in the specified countries or territories
02For sale with non-exclusive rights in the specified countries or territories
03Not for sale in the specified countries or territories (reason unspecified)

Please ensure that the various marketing rights offered do not conflict.
