Any Canadian lawyers around? The contest T&C say:



I wonder if it is possible to make a complaint to Ontario police/government dept/whoever? Or would that only be possible for Canadian citizens?

Or is this paragraph, also in the T&C (my bold type) Kobo's get-out clause?:



One contest with a glitch - well, it happens. But three? And no response from the company - that's not so good.

(I'm guessing that there is nothing we can do due to the 'Limitations of Liability' section - unless the laws of Ontario/Canada say differently.)

I'm not sure any of us want to throw legal stones. The rules also say "One entry per person per day" and several of us play more than once. That would mean we'd disqualified ourselves from even receiving coupons that they have to honor...

The contest was working 10 minutes ago, but when I tried to login again it stated the contest is closed.

Maybe Kobo is working to fix it.

Another Kobo CS avenue is @KoboHelp. I'm not a tweeter so I don't know how well it works. I see there are a bunch of comments on Facebook about the contest not working, again.

It's up to the organisers to identify and remove entries that don't conform to the rules - if they have no way to identify fraudulent entries, that's their problem.

I've had a response to my email - just 7 hours or so after I sent it.
An apology for the 'technical difficulty' with the contest and a discount code to use. The body of the email says 50% off, the code is labelled 70% off - either is better than I've ever won in the contest but I hope it's 70%!

ETA it was a 70% discount code

Which email address did you send it to? Or was it a help submission through the website?

I know, right? What a bunch of mooks for thinking if you just tell people what the rules are, they'll actually follow them. Pft. Canadians.

I know it's said closed, but with 3 days left I figured they'd attempt to open it again like they did last month. I haven't played yet so I'm hoping they can get it going for a day or 2 at least.
