Complaints Management Policy
1. GENERAL
IUX Markets (MU) LTD, hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, maintains effective and transparent procedures for the reasonable and prompt handling of complaints/grievances received from Clients and keeps records of each complaint/grievance as well as the actions taken to remedy the situation.
2. DEFINITION
A complaint/grievance is an expression of dissatisfaction regarding the investment and/or ancillary services provided to the Clients by the Company.
The complaints/grievances must be directed by the Client to the Company’s Compliance Department by filling out the relevant form (Appendix 1) and submit to the Company by email ([email protected])
In case the Company receives a notice through the line of communication established by the Company to receive complaints, but which does not fall within the definition of ‘complaint’ above and can be characterized as an enquiry; this shall be categorized as an enquiry rather than a complaint and will be forwarded to the relevant department to be handled accordingly. The complainant maintains the right to request for the re-classification of his enquiry as a complaint.
Clients must provide true, complete, and accurate information in all dealings with the Company. In the event that a customer’s complaint is found to be incorrect, untrue, incomplete, or inaccurate, the Company shall not be liable for any consequences arising from such complaints, including but not limited to any losses or damages incurred as a result. The Company’s liability in such cases will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.
3. PROCEDURE
The Compliance Department shall efficiently handle any complaint/ grievance received by the Clients. In the event that the complaint/ grievance involves the Compliance Department, the complaint/grievance shall be handled by the Management.
Further to the above, the Compliance Department shall follow the procedure depicted below when handling Client complaints/ grievances:
- a) Once the Client files a complaint, an electronic acknowledgement within 48 hrs. of receipt will be sent to the email address of the Client to ensure that the Company has received the complaint and is currently working on a resolution. The Company should also provide to the Client via this email a reference number (ticket number) of the complaint for future reference.
If the company requires additional information or documentation to address the complaint, the review process and response time may be extended. This extension ensures that all necessary details are thoroughly examined and considered, allowing the company to provide a comprehensive and accurate resolution.
- b) The Company upon examining the complaint/grievance and upon reaching a decision in this respect, shall reply to the Client with the remedial actions to be taken or provide further clarifications, and the reasoning behind the Company’s decision, as applicable.
- c) The Company shall reply to the said complaint/grievance (also depicting the remedial measures or clarifications furnished to the complainant).
- d) The Company shall document and keep in its records the following information:
- the identity of the Client who filed the complaint/ grievance;
- the date of receipt of complaint/enquiry/grievance;
- the subject and full description of the complaint/enquiry/grievance;
- the remedial action taken and/or further clarifications provided to the Client.
The Compliance Department shall make every effort to resolve the complaint/grievance within five (5) business days. When deemed necessary, the Compliance Department shall submit to the Management the aforementioned details, for further investigation. In this case, the Company might take additional time to finalize the reply and therefore it shall duly notify the complainant about the causes of the delay and indicate when the Company’s investigation is likely to be completed.
The Management shall investigate further and coordinate with relevant personnel of the Company to attend to the subject of the complaint/grievance. A final response or a holding response will be sent to the complainant explaining the findings of the investigation. Where a holding response is warranted, the Company shall state the reasons why it has not been able to resolve the complaint/grievance and provide an indication of the time needed to resolve the issue.
If clients are not satisfied with the company’s final response, they may escalate the matter to the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius, through the following link: https://www.fscmauritius.org/en/consumer-protection/complaints-handling.
4. REPORTING AND RECORD KEEPING
All decisions related to Clients’ complaints/grievances shall be communicated to Clients in writing and copies shall be retained by the Compliance Department.
All records keeping shall be maintained for a period of not less than 7 years after the business relationship has ended.
