4.2.3 Software failure
4.2.3.1 RockSpot system is designed to operate continuously 24/7, but it may become temporarily unavailable due to
software failures. In case of unavailability, the system is designed to provide the user with a warning message by e-
mail and text-messages SMS. In these cases the monitoring data and automatic alarm activation are not available
until the software is properly restored. It´s the user´s responsibility to check such warning messages regularly and to
take appropriate actions. It´s the user´s responsibility to check such warning messages regularly and to take
appropriate actions accordingly. This notification mechanism may fail as a consequence of hardware or network
failure. IDS GeoRadar is not liable for damages or claims of any kind, which are based on the disregard of such warning

4.2.4 Alarm rules setup
4.2.4.1 Automatic alarm activation by RockSpot system, requires an appropriate setting of the alarm rules, with the definition
of the areas concerned, alarm levels and type of alarm devices to activate. Incorrect alarm rules setup may lead to
missing or incomplete alarm activation. Appropriate alarm rules setup is solely under user responsibility, based on
his knowledge of the specific application features.
4.2.5 Data Quality
4.2.5.1 In case of extreme weather conditions radar data quality may be below the required minimum threshold. In this case
the user is notified by an alarm, and the monitoring and event detection will not be available. Consequently,
GeoAlarms will not be triggered. This notification mechanism may fail as a consequence of hardware or network
failure.
4.2.6 DTM Availability
4.2.6.1 To properly locate and track the rockfall events, RockSpot requires an accurate DTM of the monitored scenario, which
needs to be provided by the user. In order not to worsen the system tracking performances, DTM required accuracy
must be at least equal to the radar tracking specifications reported in §3. In case DTM accuracy is below the minimum
required accuracy, location and precise tracking of rockfall events will be affected. DTM is also necessary to
distinguish the areas with moving machineries from those affected by rockfalls. The unavailability of an accurate DTM
