      (a) resolved the complaint to your satisfaction; or
      (b) given you an explanation and/or apology when no further action to reasonably address the complaint can be taken.

3. TIMEFRAME FOR RESOLVING COMPLAINTS
   1. We endeavour to resolve all complaints as quickly as practicable. Many complaints can be resolved within days or on the spot. We will keep you informed in relation to your dispute and will provide you with an IDR response within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving your complaint.
