Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 iv. For Products which include specific “Operational” software with automatic data processing and analysis “Tools”, e.g. the IBIS Products and Hydra Products, User shall be aware that the results provided by these “Tools” may be not error free. User that completely relies on the outcomes provided by these Tools only, does it at his own risk. v. In no event IDS GeoRadar s.r.l.

Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 4. Monitoring Products. i. IBIS and Hydra Products (the Monitoring Products”) use a leading-edge technology for monitoring slope movements and has proven as an effective tool for the early detection of critical movements, possibly leading to slope failures.
Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 iv. Monitoring Products include specific “Operational” software with data processing which may give outcomes/results for helping User in the monitoring of “the stability conditions” of a specific area. We remind however that the setting of the alarm thresholds is uniquely an expert User’s responsibility and that this setting must be done according to the accurate knowledge of the particular geological context. v.
Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 o Although the radar can measure differential displacements (between two successive acquisitions) with sub-millimeter precision it must be reminded that errors in the displacement measurement cumulate with the observation time and its effective value is dependent on many factors, such as reflectivity of the monitored surface, atmospheric variations etc. o The technology used measures the displacement along the line of sight only.
Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 o The propagation of electromagnetic signals generated by the radar, is affected by atmospheric conditions along the travel path. IDS GeoRadar Radar technology incorporates state-of-the-art algorithms for the correction of those atmosphericinduced variations. However, modeling of real phenomena (like atmospheric variations) always leads to an approximation of real-world physics, which in some circumstances may introduce spurious data, thus limiting the radar performance.
Mod: MDM/011/M4 Rev 2 assumes no liability for any direct, indirect special, incidental or consequential damages or injuries caused by such reliance or for the use of Monitoring Products by Users not holding an “User Certificate” issued by IDS GeoRadar S.r.l.
