    // Get the form object.
    var form = $(this);

    // Pass form to Validator.validate() object function.
    var Validation = Validator.validate( form );

    // Remove any failed validation classes from required fields, ready for next validation check.
    Validation.clear();

    // Check if validation has failed.
    if( Validation.failed() ) {

        // Mark failed fields.
        Validation.mark();

        // Return false to halt script execution.
        return false;

    }
