# Rights, orders & entitlements

SONIC separates creative files, provenance, rights policy, license offers, Marketplace orders, settlement and entitlement issuance.

## Rights and provenance

```
POST /api/v1/rights/policies
POST /api/v1/licenses
GET  /api/v1/assets/:id/provenance
```

Rights policies specify allowed commercial use, monetization, redistribution, modification, attribution requirements and source resale rules. License offers reference a versioned rights policy. Asset provenance can describe uploaded/generated/remixed/derived origin, creator, provider/model, parents and source/output hashes.

## Marketplace listing creation

```
POST /api/v1/marketplace/listings
```

The authenticated creator must own the referenced asset. A listing requires an active license offer and one authoritative atomic price. Optional payout wallets must be verified and owned by the authenticated account.

## Marketplace order

```
GET /api/v1/marketplace/orders
```

Transaction preparation creates a durable order snapshot before wallet authorization. Snapshot fields preserve listing/asset/title/creator identity, authoritative price/currency/decimals, license ID/version/terms hash, fee policy and settlement splits.

Order lifecycle:

`CREATED → QUOTE_LOCKED → PAYMENT_PENDING → SUBMITTED → CONFIRMING → PAID → LICENSE_ISSUED → FULFILLED`

Exceptional states include expiry, failure, refund and dispute.

## Payment and chain reconciliation

A submitted signature is not settlement. Chain evidence progresses through submitted, processed, confirmed and finalized, with a business-specific settlement threshold. Verified settlement creates financial-ledger entries and issues the entitlement exactly once.

## Entitlements

```
GET /api/v1/entitlements
```

Entitlements represent the durable license access resulting from verified commerce. Listing/license edits after order creation cannot rewrite the historical license snapshot.

## Atomic economics

All prices, fees, payouts, refunds and reward amounts use atomic integer representation plus explicit currency/token decimals. JavaScript floating-point values are not the settlement authority.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sonic-ai-works.gitbook.io/sonic-networks-docs/api-reference/rights-orders-and-entitlements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
