Part C: Online Conditions
26. Scope of Agency
26.1 Once approved as an Online Registered Agent and subject to these Conditions, Jetstar authorises the Online Registered Agent, at the Online Registered Agent’s cost, to:
(a) display the Jetstar Data on the Online Registered Agent’s Site;
(b) allow End Consumers to search for and make bookings for Airline flights using the Online Registered Agent’s Site through a link to the API as approved by Jetstar in accordance with clause 2.6 or 2.7; and
(c) supply, re-market or display Jetstar Fares via an Online Marketplace Travel Agent.
26.2 If the Online Registered Agent charges a fee to the End Consumer in relation to Airline bookings, the Online Registered Agent must ensure that:
(a) the End Consumer is aware of the fee before making a booking;
(b) the fee is clearly disclosed as an agent fee and not an Airline fee, and is paid directly to the Online Registered Agent separately to the Airline Fare; and
(c) the amount of the fee charged for the Airline bookings is no more than the Online Registered Agent’s fee for bookings on another airline.
26.3 If the Online Registered Agent supplies, re-markets or displays Jetstar Fares via an Online Marketplace Travel Agent and such Online Marketplace Travel Agent charges a fee to the End Consumer in relation to Airline bookings, the Online Registered Agent must ensure that the Online Marketplace Travel Agent complies with the requirements of clause 26.2.
26.4 No Remuneration is payable in respect of bookings made under this Part C Online Conditions.
26.5 In providing access to Jetstar Data via the API to the Online Registered Agent, the Airline may notify the Online Registered Agent in writing of Ancillary Product sales targets that the Online Registered Agent may choose to meet (‘Ancillary Targets’). Jetstar will notify Online Registered Agents of Ancillary Targets that will come into effect from 1 September 2023. From January 2024 Ancillary Targets may be subject to change once per calendar year as notified by Jetstar, with revised Ancillary Targets taking effect 90 days after notice is provided.
26.6 Ancillary Targets represent the average Ancillary Product sales generated by the Airline’s Online Registered Agents as calculated by the Airline. Online Registered Agents can choose to try and achieve Ancillary Targets and Online Registered Agents who do achieve the Ancillary Targets will be provided lower fares than Online Registered Agents who do not.
26.7 The Airline will review the performance of an Online Registered Agent with respect to the Ancillary Targets 3 times per year based on the following assessment periods:
1 September – 31 December (inclusive): Jetstar bookings flown in this date range with any revised pricing effective 01 February
1 January – 30 April (inclusive): Jetstar bookings flown in this date range with any revised pricing effective 01 June
1 May – 31 August (inclusive): Jetstar bookings flown in this date range with any revised pricing effective 01 October
26.8 Following the review of an Online Registered Agents performance in accordance with clause 26.7, the Airline will notify the Online Registered Agent of pricing available to it based on Ancillary Target performance.
27. Online Registered Agent’s Obligations

In such circumstances, Jetstar may notify the Registered Agent of the Registered Agent’s failure to meet the required Look-to-Book Ratio and may require the Registered Agent to rectify their Look-to-Book Ratio in a reasonable timeframe as notified by Jetstar. Where the Registered Agent fails to rectify the Look-to-Book ratio as notified by Jetstar, Jetstar may suspend the Registered Agent’s API access in accordance with clause 19.1(a) or terminate these Online Conditions by providing notice to Online Registered Agent as described in clause 20 of the Conditions.

Online Registered Agents must not make payment to an Airline through use of a virtual Credit Card.
30.3 The Online Registered Agent may propose an exception to clause 30.2, however such exception will only take effect upon prior written consent from Jetstar, which Jetstar may withhold in its absolute discretion.
30.4 Jetstar requires a CVV (Card Verification Value) for all debit and credit card payments to enhance payment card security for transactions processed via the Online Registered Agent’s site. CVV is required when the payment card is processed using Jetstar’s merchant account under the option in clause 30.1. To ensure compliance with the PCI DSS when accepting and processing payment card transactions, the Online Registered Agent must not store CVVs of any customer cards.

(3) To avoid doubt, subsection (2) does not:
(a) have the effect that, merely because such evidence to the contrary is adduced, the representation is not misleading; or
(b) have the effect of placing on any person an onus of proving that the representation is not misleading.
48 Single price to be specified in certain circumstances
(1) A person must not, in trade or commerce, in connection with:
(a) the supply, or possible supply, to another person of goods or services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption; or
(b) the promotion by any means of the supply to another person, or of the use by another person, of goods or services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption;
make a representation with respect to an amount that, if paid, would constitute a part of the consideration for the supply of the goods or services unless the person also specifies, in a prominent way and as a single figure, the single price for the goods or services.
Note: A pecuniary penalty may be imposed for a contravention of this subsection.
(2) A person is not required to include, in the single price for goods, a charge that is payable in relation to sending the goods from the supplier to the other person.
(3) However, if:
(a) the person does not include in the single price a charge that is payable in relation to sending the goods from the supplier to the other person; and
(b) the person knows, at the time of the representation, the minimum amount of a charge in relation to sending the goods from the supplier to the other person that must be paid by the other person;
the person must not make the representation referred to in subsection (1) unless the person also specifies that minimum amount.
Note: A pecuniary penalty may be imposed for a contravention of this subsection.
(4) Subsection (1) does not apply if the representation is made exclusively to a body corporate.
(4A) Subsection (1) does not apply if:
(a) the representation is in a class of representations prescribed by the regulations; and
(b) the conditions (if any) prescribed by the regulations in relation to representations in that class have been complied with.
Note: If the representation is in a class prescribed for paragraph (a) of this subsection and subsection (1) is complied with in relation to the representation, there is no need to also comply with any conditions prescribed for paragraph (b) of this subsection.
(5) For the purposes of subsection (1), the person is taken not to have specified a single price for the goods or services in a prominent way unless the single price is at least as prominent as the most prominent of the parts of the consideration for the supply.
(6) Subsection (5) does not apply in relation to services to be supplied under a contract if:
(a) the contract provides for the supply of the services for the term of the contract; and
(b) the contract provides for periodic payments for the services to be made during the term of the contract; and
(c) if the contract also provides for the supply of goods--the goods are directly related to the supply of the services.
(7) The single price is the minimum quantifiable consideration for the supply of the goods or services at the time of the representation, including each of the following amounts (if any) that is quantifiable at that time:
(a) a charge of any description payable to the person making the representation by another person unless:
(i) the charge is payable at the option of the other person; and
(ii) at or before the time of the representation, the other person has either deselected the charge or not expressly requested that the charge be applied;
(b) the amount which reflects any tax, duty, fee, levy or charge imposed on the person making the representation in relation to the supply;
(c) any amount paid or payable by the person making the representation in relation to the supply with respect to any tax, duty, fee, levy or charge if:
(i) the amount is paid or payable under an agreement or arrangement made under a law of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory; and
(ii) the tax, duty, fee, levy or charge would have otherwise been payable by another person in relation to the supply.
Example 1: An airline advertises a flight for sale. Persons have the option of paying for a carbon offset. If the carbon offset is preselected on the airline's online booking system, the single price for the flight must include the carbon offset charge. This is because the person has not, at or before the time of the representation, deselected the charge on the online booking site. If the person deselects the optional carbon offset charge later in the online booking process, the single price does not need to include the carbon offset charge after the charge is deselected because of the exception provided by paragraphs (a)(i) and (ii).
Example 2: The GST may be an example of an amount covered by paragraph (b).
Example 3: The passenger movement charge imposed under the Passenger Movement Charge Act 1978 may be an example of an amount covered by paragraph (c). Under an arrangement under section 10 of the Passenger Movement Charge Collection Act 1978 , airlines may pay an amount equal to the charge that would otherwise be payable by passengers departing Australia.
