Michael - 

 APNIC "CA Terms and Conditions" states "The recipient of any digital certificates issued by the APNIC CA service will indemnify APNIC against any and all claims by third parties for damages of any kind arising from the use of that certificate."

 Relying parties (even if not subscribers to the CA) are any 
 entities that act in reliance on certificates in the CA, so
 the terms and conditions would be applicable.  How they go
 about obtaining the TAL doesn't change the indemnification 
 asserted by APNIC.
