A security code is a combination of letters and numbers that is usually etched or stamped onto the frame by the police or another official organisation. Security codes help to deter would-be thieves and to identify the rightful owner of a stolen bike once recovered. However, the durability of the frame can be affected where the security code has been etched or stamped on. CUBE assumes no liability for any damage to material or defects occurring as a result of obtaining a security code.
