Purpose of the policy

1.1 The purpose of this policy is to set up a free and fair procedure for examining all complaints received by us (the “firm”). It is intended, in particular, to govern the receipt of complaints, the delivery of the acknowledgement of receipt to the complainant, the creation of the complaint file, the transfer of the file to the Autorité des marchés financiers (the “AMF”) and the compilation of complaints for the purpose of preparing and filing a semi-annual report with the AMF.

2.3 As well, the person in charge shall have the following duties:

send an acknowledgement of receipt;
send the file to the AMF, at the complainant’s request;
keep a complaint register up to date;
file a semi-annual report with the AMF.

Complaint

3.1 For the purposes of the policy, a complaint is the expression of at least one of the following three elements:

a reproach against the firm, one of its brokers or one of its employees;
the identification of real or potential harm to a consumer;
a request for remedial action.

3.2 Any first consumer communication or informal step aimed at correcting a particular problem is not a complaint, insofar as the problem is dealt with by one of the firm’s operational divisions.

Receipt of the complaint

4.1 A consumer who wishes to file a complaint must do so in writing to the following email address complaints@ingleinternational.com

a notice informing the complainant of his right to request, upon the expiry of the period of 15 business days set for obtaining all necessary information, but no later than one year following the answer to the complaint, the transfer of his file to the AMF if he is dissatisfied with the outcome of the examination of his complaint or the examination itself. The notice shall also indicate that the AMF may offer mediation if the parties agree;
a notice reminding the complainant that mediation is an amicable settlement process in which a third party intercedes with the parties to assist them in reaching a satisfactory agreement.

Creation of the complaint file

5.1 A separate file shall be created for each complaint.
