You were shocked by an advertisement and you wish to address a complaint to the advertising ethics jury

 

Advertising must not be misleading, but, beyond this legal obligation, professionals have adopted ethical rules. Thus, advertising must not shock or offend, and it must not encourage the reproduction of behavior that is harmful or prejudicial to society (non-respect for human dignity, misuse of the ecological argument, for example).

 

If you believe that an advertisement does not comply with these principles, you can submit a complaint to the advertising ethics jury. After investigation, the jury will make a decision noting the breach or not of the ethical rules and, if necessary, may ask the Professional Advertising Regulatory Authority (ARPP) to order the advertiser to withdraw his advertising. The decisions and sanctions are published online on the jury's website: www.jdp-pub.org. The complaint can also be made on this site.
