Territory, and whose location the condition is about
A territorial condition limits where a grant applies. It is generally about where the licensee is established rather than where a campaign runs, which is the opposite of what most readers assume when they see a list of countries. As of 2026-09-22.
| Question | What the phrase answers |
|---|---|
| Where the licensee is established | Usually the operative fact |
| Where the audience is | Usually not what the clause says |
| Which entity signed up | Decides which side of the line a group is on |
| Where the servers are | Rarely mentioned, and rarely relevant |
Inclusion rule. Phrases that appear in more than one vendor's permissions documents and that change what a sentence means. A phrase used by a single vendor in a single clause is described on that vendor's own page instead. Order. Reading order: where you meet it, then what it settles, then what it does not.
1A country list is not an audience list
Readers see three jurisdictions excluded and assume a campaign cannot run there. The clause is normally about the licensee, which means a company established outside the excluded places may still be inside the grant while advertising into them.
The reverse is the expensive case: a company established in an excluded jurisdiction is outside the grant no matter where it publishes, and no payment moves it back inside.
2Groups make the question a structural one
With entities in several countries, the answer depends on which one holds the account and relies on the permission. That is a decision somebody makes, often without knowing they are making it, when they sign up with a corporate card.
A register can record the wording and cannot resolve the structure. What it can do is make clear that the fact to establish is about the company, not about the distribution.
3Why territorial conditions are stable
They live in licence files, and licence files are redrafted rarely and visibly. A plan-based condition can change quietly whenever a catalogue is reorganised; a definition of territory does not.
So the harder condition to satisfy is the easier one to rely on once satisfied. Which of those properties matters depends entirely on where the reader sits.
4From the making side
Alongside the terms behind “Territory”, SceneMixer's guides describe the work itself this way:

5Where the sourced wording is
A word page, not an entry in the register: nothing above is attributed to any vendor and nothing above is legal advice. The quoted clauses are on commercial use, the column this phrase turns up in is commercial use from, and the reading rules are on the reading page. Next words: Carve-out, Assignment, Consent.
