Check kendo validations before submit mvc4

maybe my problem has a simple answer but i don't get what i'm doing wrong.

I have a form with some widgets and each one is validated through kendovalidator like this

<script>
  $("#text1").kendoValidator({
    rules:{
      ruletext1:function(input){
        return $("#text1").val().length>0?true:false;
      }
    },messages:{
       ruletext1:"you must write something in text1";
    }
  });

   $("#text2").kendoValidator({
    rules:{
      ruletext2:function(input){
        return $("#text2").val().length>0?true:false;
      }
    },messages:{
       ruletext2:"you must write something in text2";
    }
  });
</script>

until this part everything works fine this code validates each input when some of them loses focus showing the message under the breached rule.

also i have a button that sends the information to a controller but first i need to be sure that all validations were met and here's my code.

var validateform = $("#pagoForm").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator");

$("#btnSend").click(function(e){


            if(validateform.validate()){

                alert('all is valid')

            }else{
               alert('something's wrong')
            }
            });

As I understand my var validateform should return false in case of a broken rule. am i wrong?, or shoud I add the validations to the form selector?
