1. OUR SERVICES
APIX provides a comprehensive one-stop-shop of a variety of APIs provided by providers of APIs (the “API providers”, or each or any one of them, the “API provider”) to help you access a wide range of information, products, and services. APIX will transform your business by improving agility to meet customer demands rapidly and collaborate easily while ensuring security for digital assets with policy-driven APIs.
For the avoidance of doubt, JETCO may also provide APIs on APIX. In such instance, in addition to administering APIX, JETCO will also be an API provider of such APIs.
2. USER ACCOUNT
Sandbox
If you wish to become a consumer of APIs on APIX, you will need to first apply for a user account on the sandbox developer portal operated by us (the “Sandbox”). You cannot register more than one user account on the Sandbox.
Upon activation of your Sandbox user account, you will have the rights to use APIs in the Sandbox only. You may apply to register for associated user accounts on the Sandbox. The Sandbox provides a testing environment of dummy data and functionalities to simulate response and fast track application development cycles. You agree that the Sandbox, including its contents/functionalities, will not be used for any commercial purposes or for any fraudulent or unauthorised transactions/purposes.
You must test each of the applications that you register on APIX (“App”, or collectively, the “Apps”) in the Sandbox before using live production data or functionalities from any live developer portals on APIX.
You will be able to register, create and test up to ten (10) of the Apps (in this context, each version of the same App is considered as one (1) App) at any one time in the Sandbox.
Live production
After you have completed testing the Apps in the Sandbox, you may apply to gain access to live production data and functionalities from any live developer portals on APIX which are operated by the API providers. You authorise us to pass to the relevant API providers all the information we have in our possession about you. The relevant API providers will decide whether or not to grant you rights to use its APIs hosted on its live developer portal to access live production data and functionalities.
The API providers may require that you enter into a separate agreement with them or furnish additional information about you, the Apps, and your businesses before the API providers will grant you rights to use the APIs hosted on their respective live developer portals to access live production data and functionalities.
Reservation of rights
We reserve all rights to approve or reject your application to register for a user account (and/or any associated user accounts) on APIX and to suspend, terminate or limit your rights to access or use APIX or any of its contents/functionalities.
The API providers reserve all rights to approve or reject your request to access the live production data and functionalities from their respective live developer portals on APIX.
Liability for user account
You are liable for all activities on APIX associated with your user account as well as any associated user accounts. You are also liable for all activities on APIX associated with all users and customers of the Apps. It is your responsibility to ensure that you make clear the associated risks and liabilities involved in relation to the information, products and services you provide or offer to all users and customers of the Apps.
Fees & Charges
API calls made to APIs hosted in the Sandbox is currently free of charge (until further notified by JETCO) subject to the API call limit set by us from time to time (the “API call limit”).
Fees and charges may apply for API calls on the live developer portals on APIX.
If API calls from your user account and associated user accounts will exceed or exceeds the API call limit we have set for the Sandbox or your user account/associated user accounts, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for calls made in the Sandbox which exceeds the API call limit or to suspend, terminate or limit your access or use of APIX or any of its contents/functionalities.
3. MINIMUM STANDARDS
You agree that each of the Apps, and each of the systems (or websites) in connection with such Apps, must comply with the following standards, issued and updated by us from time to time (the “Standards”):
- incorporate user enrollment processes and procedures to mitigate the risks of unauthorised or fraudulent account enrollment;
- incorporate authentication technologies, processes and procedures to mitigate the risks of unauthorised or fraudulent use or access to account, personal information, or funds/funds related functionalities;
- validate the security level (e.g. operating system type, operating system version, whether the mobile device is rooted or jailbroken, and unpatched devices or those that are no longer supported by the manufacturer) of a device before permitting use or access to personal information or conducting funds/funds related functionalities;
- employ secure development methodology for the App and deploy the App in secure channel (e.g. Google Play, Apple App Store for mobile App);
- incorporate processes and procedures to deactivate older versions of the App which are no longer current or no longer meet minimum security requirements and prompt end users to upgrade to an acceptable version of the App;
- ensure that confidential information (e.g. passwords, account number, and payment card numbers, etc.) does not reside directly on a device, unless it is essential to the App’s functionalities. If confidential information does reside on a device, the App should encrypt and securely store such information (e.g. within an encrypted data section or within encrypted storage in the file system) and separately store the cryptokey in secure storage. If such information is personal data, ensure that you incorporate processes and procedures in compliance with JETCO’s Data Privacy Policy published at www.jetco.com.hk/en/site/privacy-policy issued and updated by JETCO from time to time;
- securely delete all sensitive or personal end user information temporarily stored in memory or local storage upon exiting the App;

- maintain secure back-end servers connected to the App and withhold confidential information;
- maintain secure IT Infrastructure connected to the App and withhold confidential information; and
