This document summarizes key aspects of our complaint processing and dispute resolution policy. You will learn about the steps involved in handling a complaint and the timeframe to receive our response.<\/p>

What is a complaint?<\/h2>

A complaint expresses a reproach or dissatisfaction in respect of the services or products we offer and your expectation that we take action to address the complaint.<\/p>

You may, for example, expect a refund from us or for us to take action to address the situation giving rise to your complaint.<\/p>

How to file a complaint<\/h2>

You can file a complaint with us by whichever means is convenient for you. You may also complete the form<\/a> from the Autorit\u00e9 des march\u00e9s financiers (\u201cAMF\u201d). We can help you file your complaint.<\/p>

Contact us by<\/strong><\/p>

Phone: (514) 842-5589 or 1 888-GIVERNY<\/p>

E-mail: info@givernycapital.com<\/a><\/p>

Mail: 759, Square-Victoria Street, suite 105, Montreal (Quebec) H2Y 2J7<\/p>

Our offices are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.<\/p>

Questions? Contact us to find out how we process complaints.<\/p>

Steps in the complaint process<\/h2>

For certain complaints, we may follow a simplified process<\/b> whereby we try to propose a means of resolving the situation. The simplified process is described below.<\/p>

If we are unable to resolve your complaint according to this process or if the nature or complexity of your complaint is such that the complaint does not lend itself to the simplified process, then the complaint is processed according to the following steps.<\/p>

1. We acknowledge receipt of your complaint (Acknowledgement of receipt)<\/strong><\/p>

We send you an acknowledgement of receipt in writing within 10 days of receipt of your complaint.<\/p>

2. We analyze the complaint (Analysis)<\/strong><\/p>

We make sure we understand your complaint and what you expect from us. If necessary, we contact you to request additional information.<\/p>

3. We provide a written final response (Decision)<\/strong><\/p>

We provide you with a final response in writing within 60 days of receipt of your complaint. In our response, we explain how we analyzed your complaint and what led to our response and, if possible, the proposed solution to your complaint.<\/p>

Contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding our response.<\/p>

Extension of the period for providing our final response<\/b><\/p>

Your complaint may take longer to process or be more complex than anticipated, in which case we may determine that additional time is required for the analysis of your complaint. The additional time may not exceed 30 days. We notify you in writing, indicating the circumstances warranting the extension.<\/p>

4. Assessment of the offer and resolution of the complaint<\/strong><\/p>

Take time to review our response or assess our offer to resolve your complaint. If we present an offer, we give you time to assess whether you want to accept or refuse it. The amount of time we give you should provide you with sufficient opportunity to seek the advice you need to make an informed decision. The time by which you need to respond is indicated in our response.<\/p>

Once we reach an agreement with you to resolve your complaint, we have to give effect to the offer within 30 days unless we agree upon a different time period with you when it is in your interest to do so.<\/p>

5. Examination of the complaint record by the AMF or the OBSI<\/strong><\/p>

For each complaint, we create a record in which we keep all the information or documents required for the processing of your complaint.<\/p>

If you are a Quebec resident, you can contact us to request to have your complaint record examined by the AMF at any time if you are not satisfied with the response we provided or how your complaint was processed. We are required to send your complaint record to the AMF no later than 15 days following receipt of your request.<\/p>

If you reside outside of Quebec, you have access to the services of the Ombudsman for banking services and investments of Canada (\u201cOBSI\u201d). You can contact the OBSI if you are unsatisfied with our final response to your complaint or if we have not provided you with our final response and it has been more than 90 days since we received your complaint. To reach the OBSI you can contact them using the following:<\/p>

E-mail: ombudsman@obsi.ca<\/a>
Phone: 1 888 451-4519 or 416 287-2877 Toronto region<\/p>

Simplified process for certain complaints<\/h2>

We may follow a simplified process for certain complaints. This process is for complaints that we can resolve to the client\u2019s satisfaction within 20 days.<\/p>

We consider a complaint to be resolved to your satisfaction when you accept our proposed solution to your complaint or when the explanations we provide to you are sufficient to resolve your complaint.<\/p>

Under the simplified process, complaints may be referred to a member of our client service team and handled verbally (e.g., in a phone call).<\/p>

If we cannot propose a satisfactory solution or provide explanations sufficient to resolve your complaint under this process, we will notify you in writing. Your complaint will continue to be processed, but in accordance with the steps in the complaint process described earlier.<\/p>

The time that we take when trying to resolve your complaint under the simplified process does not have any effect on our obligation to provide you with our written final response within the required time period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
