Disclaimer for the “IBIS Family” Products.
IBIS Products include specific “Operational” software with automatic data
processing and analysis which may give outcomes/results for helping User in the
monitoring of “the stability conditions” of a specific event.
Nevertheless, IDS GeoRadar has the obligation to remind the Users that the
performance of IBIS might be influenced by two main factors which may distort
its outcomes, thus giving rise to false or missing alarms:
The parameters introduced by the operator/s.
The particular environmental conditions: (even though the radar technology
employed by IBIS is deemed among the most reliable for the monitoring of
“instable slopes).
Therefore, when IBIS Products are used in “Critical Monitoring for safety
purposes” applications, like real time monitoring of unstable slopes including
Opencast or Underground Mining, User must be aware that the “the assessment of
the stability conditions of the observed targets” must be tasked to skilled and
certified operator/s able to understand data supplied by either IBIS or other
equipment employed to such purpose; only operators officially trained and
regularly updated by IDS GeoRadar (holding an “IBIS User Certificate” thereof)
are allowed to use IBIS products.
IDS GeoRadar assumes no liability for any direct, indirect special, incidental or
consequential damages or injuries caused by such reliance or for the use of IBIS
Products by operator not holding an “IBIS User Certificate” issued by IDS
GeoRadar. Any Buyer or User that completely relies on information obtained from
the automated data processing/analysis tools only does so at his own risk and
possible damages caused to IBIS products during operations performed by not-
certified operators are not covered by the applicable Warranty Terms in force.
