In the case of a group with regional entities, there may be one national principal and one regional principal
per entity, depending on the campaigns. If the document, elaborated by a national principal,
is simply modified locally (e.g. contact details or identification of the local sales outlet),
the contributor is then the national principal. The same applies when
the document developed by the client is transferred for a fee to establishments
or franchisees.
