      hey man do you have banner screenshot of the 32 inch tv? (btw can't pm you…you've got it off)

    So I got a reply finally, apparently being here participating on this site violates and we were all discussing at length how to game the system

    Hi,

    Thank you for sharing your browser history, which shows how active you were on an online forum discussing at length how to hack and game the Click Frenzy promotion.

    Please note from our terms:
    CF reserves the right to deny you access to, or use of, all or part of the Site, without prior notice, if you engage in any conduct that CF believes, in its sole discretion violates any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions or violates the rights of CF or third parties or is otherwise inappropriate for continued access and use of the Site.

    The cancellation of your order stands.

      They could just leave a comment on Ozbargain explaining things as the competition was running - same way most others do it. They obviously been reading this thread.

      I think the issue here stems from a number of factors:

      1. They are a bog standard affiliate directory with a unique structure based on Black Friday Deals. Nothing wrong with this, actually the Click Frenzy concept is genius, they just go about it in a completely negative way and this is probably based on a lack of experience.
      2. Their choice of Content management systems and basic administration highlights a lack of Web development skill. Shopify has instructions available to to remove the issues they are complaining about.
      3. They are part of power retail, a bog standard SEO marketing manipulation splog.
      4. They have incredible negative rankings and feedback on social networks and review sites - this would take its toll on even the most hardened marketer.
      5. They treat users with contempt, probably related to point no 4.

      What can they do about this? Just get over it, acknowledge Ozbargain exists and they stuffed up not disabling the RSS and search pages on their Shopify install.

    I'm going to now post a statement

    To that clickfrenzy admin guy who is watching
    I know you have a difficult job but attacking and accusing people is not the right way to go about it, fine accuse me of being a hacker or whatever but don't punish everyone on this site for whatever actions you believe I took to game the system. This site is mostly if not all talk and we talk absolute rubbish sometimes and that can be taken out of context. Me saying "I found a method" was infact a broken part of your site which I believed was where the banner would come up, so I was mistaken and that was taken out of context.
    I'm going to say sorry for what you may think I have done but there is no need to be power hungry for the sake of being an alpha.
    I am sorry to everyone who is punished for this because of a few comments relating to "code" or "methods" and i'll watch what i say in the future because i thought I was free to say whatever I wished without being scrutinised
    Please accept my deepest sympathies for all who are being called hackers or gaming the system

    • Toons on 22/11/2016 - 21:40

      Haha,

      I joined the site after the competition finished trying to find more info on the whole thing, as it was severely lacking on the CF website I'm not running RSS feed so have I been deemed a fraud because I joined this site, not bothered who answers including the admin guy from CF

      But if that's all they have to stand on then I'm quite happy to send all my logs to the news including the conversations here I'm sure channel 9 would have a field day they don't like being embarrassed when they have hosted a shonky operator in good faith

      Still no reply from any of my emails to CF and yes they took my money from my CC

      So riddle me this I also don't have Facebook which is how most people were communicating so have they cancelled all the orders of those people who accessed live feeds too

      Actually if it's guilt by association then does that mean they hacked this site to obtain the email addresses of people

      If so some questions needed to be seriously asked ?????

      • Quandons on 23/11/2016 - 06:59

        If you didn't sign up to the website until after the sale I can not see how they can claim you "hacked" plus using a publicly available page on the website that smart people who do online shopping use called a "search" page I can't see how they consider that hacking.

        Pretty sure the ACCC may ask some questions of their handling in this situation as Im sure they are getting plenty of complaints.

  • fruxo on 22/11/2016 - 21:20

    I can't believe the conduct by ClickFrenzy. They made some mistakes during promotions which could have easily been apologised for with a promise for them to better themselves for next time, but the aftermath has been phenomenally badly handled.

    To everyone whom have NOT had your order(s) cancelled:
    Is your payment still pending or has it been accepted?

    I'm almost starting to think they will just cancel the whole thing at this stage.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2016 - 23:09

    wow what a shit storm. I won the 32" tv, and it hasn't been canceled, nor have i got any updates from them.

    Please be clear that we did nothing wrong. And here's why, according to Section 11.1 of Click Frenzy's own terms and conditions:

    "11. Entire Agreement
    1. Except as provided for in clause 1.3 (which is actually missing from their terms and conditions), these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and CF with respect to this Site, and the Terms and Conditions replace all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding the Site."

    In there own words, any information or perceived instructions contained in emails sent by Click Frenzy have no bearing on purchases made from clickfrenzystore.com. Our agreement, as outlined above, is limited to the terms and conditions listed on the site where we made the purchases. More to the point, these terms and conditions do not restrict our access to the site directly, to its search function, or to its RSS feed.

    So please be assured that you did not have to click on any banner on some other website for your purchase to be considered valid.

    Also, yesterday someone posted a response they received from Click Frenzy in which the retailer attempted to justify their actions by quoting a section of their terms and conditions. Specifically, they highlighted the section which outlines their right to restrict our access to the site. And yes, they do reserve that right, but they did not restrict our access to the site. We all completed purchases and, by law, we have a binding contract the moment they accepted payment. If you received an email order confirmation, please know you have a binding contract with Click Frenzy.

    Don't be intimidated by any accusations of fraud or wrong doing.

    • compacc on 04/12/2016 - 10:47

      we have a binding contract the moment they accepted payment

      This is actually not true of online orders. The contract is generally binding upon order fulfilment (ie when they ship it). This is in part to protect a company if, for example, they don't have live levels of stock on their website and someone orders a million shirts. Payment will be accepted but they can't fulfil the order, so they are under no obligation to do so. They are within their rights to cancel orders even if payment has been accepted (provided, of course, that they offer a full refund). Additionally, it protects the company from any incorrect pricing. So if a company accidentally listed a PS4 for 10c and they only received one order, they are not obliged to send it even if they do have the stock. However, if they do post the PS4 and then contact the buyer and say "sorry mate, it was meant to be $500" that's when consumer rights kick in and they can't do that as shipment of goods has created the contract of purchase.

      • SoSoDef on 05/12/2016 - 09:14

        The result of a recent NCAT hearing suggests otherwise. Just last month an online jeweller was ordered to fulfil an order for a +$30,000 diamond ring they had mistakenly listed on their website for under $1,500. Not only did the tribunal find that accepting payment constituted a contract for the sale of goods, as per the Sale of Goods Act 1923, but they were also ordered to cover the customer's legal fees.

    Nope, I was dead wrong, lol, back to checking the code

    And as explained I found a broken page of their site and thought that was the secret
    And so he basically threw accusations against me for that and just seemed more like a jerk and not a customer service rep at all
    I was done with him because this whole thing was a farce and a lie, none of us have the ability to speak freely without accusations. Furthermore, the best course of action is to boycott click frenzy forever, tell everyone you know to boycott click frenzy and let's hit them where hurts, reputation

      But what if you accessed

      https://www.clickfrenzystore.com/search

      That is a basic website address extension that I think people with a fair bit of online shopping experience would be well versed in using.

      I used the search page for items which I can't see anything wrong with as it could accessed easily by just typing the address in.

      • SoSoDef on 23/11/2016 - 08:57

        Accessing a publicly available page does not constitute a violation of their terms and conditions. The search page is available to anyone who types that address in to a web browser. Again, you are only bound to the terms and conditions listed on the site from which you purchased the goods - and those terms and conditions do not restrict such usage.

  • smodahf on 23/11/2016 - 08:49

    Apparently that is gaming the system, I think it's in their instructions

    "A banner will appear some time within that window advertising the specific 99% off offer – when you see it, click on the offer to go through to the website where you can make a purchase.

    If stocks run out, the banner will be removed so once you see it, don’t delay. The offer is only valid while stocks last. There will be only one item per user."

    So using the search function is gaming the system according to them
    I'm just thinking like they would now, the conversation I had with the click frenzy admin was enlightening and I know their attitude now

    • koalafied on 23/11/2016 - 13:05

      This ^

      "If stocks run out, the banner will be removed so once you see it, don't delay."
      They kept the banner up for at least 5-10 minutes, what have they got to say about that?

      "There will be only one item per user."
      I think this may be another reason why they labelled us as a fraud, I mean for those who bought more than one item. They clearly haven't described it properly, is it one item per user per category or one item for all categories?

      Really does not make any sense…

      • fruxo on 23/11/2016 - 14:07
        +1

        The one item per user is said in the context of clicking the banner when it appears, at which point only 1 category exists. Although ambiguous, I can't see how that sentence is supposed to mean that you are only allowed to buy 1 item across all categories.

        But even though that's not what they wrote, let's assume that's what they meant. Then logically, if they are unable to configure the system to stop you, they should simply let you pick which item you wanted. No one committed fraud by buying 2 items, especially since it wasn't even in the terms and conditions.

    We never managed to get any answer in regards to whether it's the pro version as per picture. The order status page still has a picture of the pro version. Anyway, I guess we'll see.

    I'd be incredibly surprised if we do get it, but less likely things have happened. Such as winning it in the first place. Very slack that they haven't fixed the mistake (either the text or photo as they are contradictive) or at least sent an email to clarify, but not really surprising based on their after-promotion behavior.

          Cheers. That's a shame although not unexpected. Since it was so prevalent (and still not fixed!) a different company might have honored what we now know was a mistake, but oh well. Also looks like our playstation has been lost in the mail, trying to get them to chase it up now but both parties blame each other and no one is taking responsibility. Good times.

          @fruxo: Did you get your PS4?
          Is it pro version?

        • fruxo on 06/12/2016 - 19:31

          @knight88:
          It arrived today actually. It was the slim version as expected.

    The thing is, some of us actually didn't cheat though, but apparently talking about code out of context is enough evidence to make click frenzy admin throw wild accusations towards us

    • Toons on 30/11/2016 - 22:34

      I know bud they had bad code too it run a faulty loop rushed shit panicking over nothing thinking people had outsmarted the game

      they were the ones who cheated among other things one day you will get to smile about this

      not only did they do everything they accused you of they actually broke multiple laws (Confirmed)

      I'd love to get my hands on the T&C's they set up with the supposed sponsors / Vendors as there actually wasn't any bargains that weren't already there a simple google search gave you the same results at best they price matched existing offers from everything that i looked at that i actually had a need or want for and all websites i went to didn't require CF subscription the code came as a pop up or they had a quick search

      the whole thing was a sham

    Was told that they would be shipping the rest of the products at the end of the week (today), but still nothing as of yet.

    • thequickandthedead on 05/12/2016 - 15:09

      Nothing yet for me either. Have you heard anything back from them yet?

      • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2016 - 15:36

        Nope.

        • thequickandthedead on 05/12/2016 - 18:42

          Just got tracking email!

        • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2016 - 19:23

          @thequickandthedead: Lucky! I still haven't even got a response. :(

        • thequickandthedead on 05/12/2016 - 19:38

          @annon:
          Yeah I had no response other than the order confirmation/delayed shipping email until this arvo. I noticed that they had arranged shipping insurance which may take time to process? Mind me asking what you won?

        • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2016 - 20:19

          @thequickandthedead: I got the Samsung 32in tv. They said they would get the stock in last week and it would be shipped out before the week was over. Guess I'll just wait.

        • thequickandthedead on 05/12/2016 - 21:04

          @annon:
          Congrats :) Yeah I haven't heard of anybody getting their TV yet, dare say they'd be organising insurance for a TV as well - hold tight I'm sure you'll get a shipment email soon!

        • fruxo on 06/12/2016 - 13:03

          @annon:
          We got shipment confirmation for 32" tv today, so you'll probably get yours shortly.

        • thequickandthedead on 07/12/2016 - 19:36

          @fruxo:
          Got mine today! Came via Allied Express which may explain the odd tracking info.

        • John Kimble on 02/01/2017 - 20:32

          @thequickandthedead: Would they list the insured value as the RRP or 99% off?! haha

    Anyone with the cancellation email get their refund yet? My Paypal balance still shows as them having taken the money but not refunded it…

    • shadowfangz on 06/12/2016 - 08:48

      You will have to request for a refund, the guys at clickfrenzy will happily send you a cancellation but won't bother with actually refunding you unless you request it.

      • dokyung on 07/12/2016 - 15:22

        I put in a PayPal dispute. Is that enough or did I have to email them directly?

        • shadowfangz on 07/12/2016 - 15:23

          They should refund you in a few days
