Sicheres Spurleitsystem Das Grundprinzip der hier beschriebenen Applikation ist uns allen vertraut, denn es geht darum, Kraftfahrzeuge mit Hilfe von leuchtenden (in Deutschland gelben) Fahrbahnmarkierungen sicher von der einen Fahrspur auf eine andere Fahrspur zu leiten – eine Aufgabe, die auf den ersten blick trivial bis sehr einfach aussieht. bei näherem betrachten erweist sich ein derartiges System jedoch als äußerst komplex, zumal auch noch extrem hohe Sicherheitsanforderungen hinzukommen: Sowohl in elektronischer als auch in mechanischer Hinsicht ist eine Lenkung des Verkehrs mit Hilfe von in die Fahrbahn eingelassenen Leuchtmarkierungen äußerst anspruchsvoll. Auf basis von LED-Technologie und LonWorks-Powerline-Kommunikation hat das Lübecker Unternehmen who mit Unterstützung von EbV-Elektronik eine passende Lösung geschaffen, die sich sowohl in mechanischer als auch in elektronischer Hinsicht bestens bewährt hat. LED-Ansteuerung Alle Bilder und Grafiken: who Ingenieurgesellschaft/Siemens HANS HAPP W er an einem Werktag morgens vom Norden her über die insgesamt mit sechs Fahrspuren ausgestattete Golden-Gate-Brücke nach San Francisco hineinfährt, den leiten gut 50 cm hohe und 80 cm lange Betonklötze auf vier Fahrspuren gen Süden, während zwei Spuren aus der Stadt heraus nach Norden führen. Rechtzeitig vor dem Feierabendverkehr müssen die Betonklötze wieder umgesetzt werden, um die sechs Fahrspuren optimal nutzen zu können, denn bei der nachmittäglichen RushHour rollen die Fahrzeuge dann auf vier Fahrspuren nach Norden aus der Stadt am Pazifik heraus über die Brücke, und der Verkehr fließt nur noch zweispurig nach San Francisco hinein. Pionierprojekt mit elektro-optischem Verkehrsleitsystem: Der Elbtunnel Als beim Elbtunnel in Hamburg die vierte der jeweils 3,2 km langen und je zwei Spuren breiten Röhren, welche in 32 m Tiefe gut 12 m un- bild 1: Die gelb leuchtenden Unterflurfeuer ersetzen die rot-weißen Markierungsbaken. 6 ter dem Elbgrund hindurchführen, geplant beziehungsweise gebaut wurden, wollten die Betreiber eine elegantere Lösung zur Spurverschwenkung installieren, als dies bisher an der Elbe und im Rest der Welt üblich war. Gelbe Leuchtmarkierungen, so genannte Unterflurfeuer (UFL), sollten die bisher als Fahrbahnmarkierung eingesetzten mechanischen Leitsysteme (Betonklötze oder Baken) ersetzen, welche die Fahrzeuge ihren Fahrspuren zuweisen. Ziel war es, das umständliche mechanische Umsetzen sowie die damit verbundenen zeit- und finanzintensiven Fahrbahnsperrungen zu vermeiden. Im Jahr 2004 erfolgte schließlich die erste Inbetriebnahme der insgesamt 656 elektronisch gesteuerten Unterflurfeuer vor dem Elbtunnel, die in 39 einzelnen Leuchtketten von jeweils bis zu 600 m Kabellänge zusammengefasst sind, wobei manche Ketten nur vier Unterflurfeuer, manche bis zu 42 UFLs versorgen. Die Unterflurfeuer sind im 5-Meter-Raster in die Fahrbahn eingelassen und über ein meist mindestens 100 m bis 150 m langes Kabel angebunden. Die in den Boden eingelassenen »Markierungsleuchtknöpfe«, so die offizielle Bezeichnung der Leuchtfeuer im Amtsdeutsch, arbeiten mit einem Steuerungssystem, das seit der ersten Inbetriebnahme zuverlässig und praktisch unver- ändert seinen Dienst versieht und mit Powerline-Kommunikation auf Basis der Echelon-Technologie arbeitet. Unterflurfeuer: eine mechanische Herausforderung Als mechanische Basiselemente dienten dabei robuste Unterflurfeuer (Bild 1), denen die Flugzeuge auf Flughäfen während ihrer Fahrt zum/vom Terminal folgen, wobei ein derartiges Leuchtelement auch darauf ausgerichtet ist, dass immer wieder ein voll beladener Airbus A380 darüber rollt. Dennoch stellte sich schnell heraus, dass die mechanischen Belastungen auf einer Autobahn um ein Vielfaches höher sind als auf einem Flughafen. Das Unternehmen who Ingenieurgesellschaft, das als Entwicklungspartner im Bereich LonWorks für Siemens Traffic Solutions für die komplette Entwicklung der Unterflurfeuer und deren Kommunikation mit den Leitrechnern zuständig war, stellte dann auch schnell fest, dass ein großer Teil der Herausforderungen beim Design im Bereich der Mechanik liegt: »Mechanik, Optik und Abdichtung der Unterflurfeuer inklusive IP-68Steckverbindern stellten uns trotz unserer langjährigen Erfahrung im rauen maritimen Umfeld vor neue Aufgaben«, erklärt Dipl.-Ing. Detlef Thon, geschäftsführender Gesell- schafter der who Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, die ihren Firmensitz in Lübeck hat. »Die Powerline-Kommunikation sowie die Ansteuerung der Leuchtmittel war nicht leicht, sondern vergleichsweise einfach im Vergleich zu den zahlreichen mechanischen Problemen. Vor der Montage testen wir im Rahmen der Typprüfung fünf Unterflurfeuer auf dem Vibrationsprüfstand mit 10 g bei 1,2 mm Amplitude im Bereich von 20 Hz bis 100 Hz gemäß EN 60068-2-6. Bei der Endprüfung wird dann jedes Einzelteil mit 1,4 bar Druck unter Wasser auf Dichtigkeit geprüft; das hält wirklich nur High-End-Technik aus.« Obwohl eine Erörterung dieser Als die Ingenieure bei who mit der Entwicklung des Unterflurfeuer-Systems begannen, waren ursprünglich Halogenlampen als Leuchtmittel vorgesehen, »aber wir erkannten schnell, dass Halogenlampen hier nicht praktikabel sind und wir auf LEDs setzen müssen«, führt Detlef Thon weiter aus. »Nicht nur der im Vergleich zu Halogenlampen etwa 75% geringere Energiebedarf der LEDs ist von Interesse. Schließlich hätten Halogenlampen präventiv alle 1000 bis 1500 Stunden ausgetauscht werden müssen, was einen immensen Aufwand mit Fahrbahnsperrungen, etc. erfordert hätte. Anfang 2009 waren einzelne Leuchtfeuer bereits knapp 19 000 Stunden dauernd eingeschaltet und problemlos über 20 000 Stunden in Betrieb.« Das optische Kernelement in diesem mittlerweile fünf Jahre alten Basis-Design bilden jeweils sechs Dragon-LEDs aus dem Hause Osram mit einer Leistung von 1 W. Zwar hatte who erste Prototypen mit LEDs eines anderen Herstellers implementiert, aber auf Grund der relativ großen Metallfläche, auf welcher der Chip montiert ist, kam bild 2: Die Unterflurfeuer müssen auch unter extremen bedingungen und im Wasser stets ordnungsgemäß arbeiten. CASE STUDY 2009 CASE STUDY 2009 € 6,320.- split-run by zip-codes or Nielsen areas per 1,000: €300.- es zu gefährlichen störenden Phantomlichtern, so dass diese LEDs trotz hoher Leuchtkraft in dieser Anwendung nicht nutzbar sind. Bei Phantomlichtern wird einfallendes Licht reflektiert, so dass es aussieht, als ob die Lichtquelle aktiviert ist – ein Phänomen, das wir von Verkehrsampeln, die mit Glühlampen bestückt sind, nur allzu gut kennen. »In Kombination mit einer speziell entwickelten Optik erzielen wir bei den Dragon-LEDs eine Lichtstärke von 1200 Candela, während herkömmliche Anwendungen es nur auf 100 cd bringen«, erklärt Detlef Thon. »So schaffen wir es, die Anforderung der Polizei zu erfüllen, dass die Fahrer die Markierungen auch bei tief stehender Sonne bereits aus 85 m Entfernung sicher erkennen.« Da die Unterflurfeuer sowohl am Tag als auch in der Nacht sowie bei unterschiedlichen Sonnenständen und Bewölkungssituationen im Sommer wie im Winter bestens sichtbar sein sollen, muss die Helligkeit regelbar sein, wobei who hier einen Dynamikbereich zwischen der geringsten und der hellsten Helligkeitsstufe von stattlichen 14 Bit erzielt – ein Wert, der mit reiner Pulsbreitenmodulation nicht erzielbar ist und zusätzliche Schaltungskniffe erfordert. Um stets reproduzierbare Helligkeitswerte zu erzielen, überwacht das System nicht nur die Flussspannung der einzelnen Leuchtdioden und den durch sie fließenden Strom, sondern auch die Temperatur der LEDs sowie der Treiberund Ansteuerungselektronik. Da der Wirkungsgrad der LEDs mit sinkender Temperatur zunimmt, sorgt bei diesen Unterflurfeuern eine spezielle Regelung dafür, dass in der kalten Jahreszeit ein geringerer Strom durch die LEDs fließt als im Sommer – ein Feature, das nur äußerst selten implementiert wird. Sicherheit wird bei dieser Anwendung groß geschrieben, und damit kein Markierungsleuchtknopf unbemerkt ausfällt, liefert jedes einzelne Unterflurfeuer permanent Daten über 39 unterschiedliche Messwerte und Betriebszustände.

Name of the coverage study: LA ELFA 12/13 readership analysis of electronics trade media is conducted on behalf of WEKA FACHMEDIEN GmbH. Overall control was entrusted to the Technical University of Munich. A total of 8 titles were raised in the demanded systematic approach in accordance with the official guidelines for media analysis from the German Advertising Federation ZAW (7 titles have been evaluated, one title did not fulfil the systematic and objectively defined criteria of the title selection). 2. Definition of the universe: 2.1.Universe: a)Institutions/companies: All companies of the Federal Republic of Germany belonging to electronics industries have been defined as institutional universe. b)Persons: The target persons are people who deal with electronics and at least participate in decision making. Are there any employees or departments in your company who deal with components of professional electronics? For example: • production of electronic components • production of devices with electronic components • design of electronic and electrotechnical components • planning/conception of applications with those components • distribution/trade/purchase in the industrial area with those components The general provision of support for the company´s network equipment and telecommunications equipment or the simple distribution of finished devices to retail customers are not taken into account. In the second step the term “decision maker“ is defined: How many deciscion makers are there amongst the employees who deal with electronics as described above? A decision maker is any person who plays a decisive role in decision making. Apart from those who take the final decision this contains also persons within a team who are involved in a decision in terms of planning or consulting. Both decisions of technical nature (selection of components, manufacturers, technical solutions) and commercial decisions (selection of suppliers etc. also according to specifications) are meant here. 2.2.Structure of the universe: According to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (sales tax statistics 2010 as published in March 2013) the universe covers 162,384 companies from sectors with WZ08-codes: 20, 26.11, 26.2, 26.3, 26.4, 26.5, 26.6, 26.7, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32.5, 46.52, 47.41, 61, 62, 63.1, 71.2 und 72.1. The number of electronics decision makers in these sectors has been determined empirically. The study represents 270.300 decision makers. 13 3. Research methodology As there are no documents regarding the number or distribution of the target persons‘ universe within their companies the personnel universe was to be determined at first. The number of electronics decision makers within the respective companies was identified by screening interviews via telephone. Within a department relevant for the survey a target person was selected randomly for the main interview by telephone. To avoid confusion regarding the titles title cards could be consulted on a secured part of the IFAK website. Cover pages were rearranged differently for each respondent. As an alternative to the visualization on the internet titles could also be identified by (printed) title cards sent to the persons interviewed. Those title cards had a DIN-A7 size and were sent in variable sequences. The quality and presentation did not differ in either alternative. Additional interviews could be conducted within companies with more than 5 decision makers in order to consider the lower chances of a target person to be selected within bigger companies. Both the screening and the main interview were carried out by the quota method. Screeners had to consider the structures of industry and sales based on the data of the Federal Statistical Office. Main interviews were based on the quota guidelines defining the structure of the number of decision makers and industry which was determined during the screening. In order to better map the slightly occupied parts more interviews have been realized in these areas. Afterwards this deliberately created disproportionality was adapted to the predefined structures by the subsequent proportionalization. 4. Manner and preparation of the sample: The data for the sample were taken from the provider D&B Germany GmbH. After postal sorting at random of the current database the sample procedure was conducted by D&B. The WZ08-codes and 3 sales categories served as specifications. Subsequently the sample was analyzed for duplicates and fully cleaned. 5. Day of the sampling procedure: The sampling procedure took place on June 18th, 2013. 6. Sample fullfillment: To be omitted because of the application of the quota method. A total of 4,266 screening interviews and 751 main interviews were conducted. 7. Period of survey: The survey took place from June 20th to September 21st, 2013. 8. Conduct of investigation: IFAK Institute GmbH & Co. KG, Taunusstein was in charge of conduct, fieldwork and technical preparation of the data. The Technical University of Munich is responsible for the scientific and methodological supervision. The survey refers in composition, realisation, coverage and reporting to the official guidelines for media analysis from the German Advertising Federation (ZAW).

An „order“ in the sense of the general terms and conditions that follow is a contract relating to the publication of one or more advertisements of an advertiser or other advertising space buyer in the magazines of the publisher for the purpose of distribution, and to the placement of online advertising on the web sites of the publisher. These terms and conditions will also apply to an order for third-party inserts in the magazines brought out by the publisher. Online advertising will cover banners, pop-ups, special interest and keyword placements. 2. Differing, conflicting or supplemental general terms and conditions of advertising clients will not be recognized as an integral part of the contract, that is unless the publisher expressly agrees to them. 3. The publisher may alter these terms and conditions at any time. They will inform their clients in good time of any alteration, at the latest one month in advance. The publisher is authorized in particular in the event of the inoperativeness of a term or condition, to add to or replace the latter with effect for existing contracts, and upon the alteration of a legal provision or supreme court decision if said alteration affects one or more terms and conditions of the contractual relationship, to adapt the affected terms and conditions to suit the purpose of the altered legal situation. 4. The order will be concluded with the acceptance of the client‘s order by the publisher. Such acceptance may be in writing or by e-mail. 5. Should an advertising agency commission advertising orders on behalf of third parties, the contract will be concluded strictly with the advertising agency and not with its ordering party. If the ordering party of the advertising agency is to be the contractual partner, it will be named by the advertising agency as the ordering party and the issue of an order to the advertising agency verified in writing. 6. Advertising brokers and advertising agencies are duty bound to abide by the price list of the publisher in their proposals, contracts and billing with advertising parties. The commission granted by the publisher may not be passed on to the client, either wholly or in part. 7. The client is not entitled to the inclusion of advertisements in certain numbers, certain editions or at certain places of magazines. The publisher is free to insert an advertisement at a suitable spot, that is unless insertion was agreed for a certain number, in a certain edition or for a certain place of the particular magazine. The requirement for this is punctual availability of the ready to print copy. If the order cannot be performed in the particular number, the particular edition or at the particular place of the magazine, the publisher is authorized to insert in another number at a suitable spot. Categorized ads will be printed in the particular column without the need for an express agreement. 8. Placement of online advertising will be made as reasonably seen fit with the greatest possible consideration of the client‘s interests. The client is not entitled to placement of online advertising at a certain position of the particular web site. The publisher reserves the right to change the date of appearance of online advertising for technical or other comprehensible reasons. 9. The client may cancel orders for online advertising after conclusion of the contract. Cancellation must be in writing. The publisher will terminate insertion of the online advertising immediately after receipt of the cancellation. 10. Cancellation fee online: Cancellation until two weeks before the commencement of insertion is free of cost. In the event of cancellation within a shorter term the publisher is entitled to bill the following costs: - 30% of the net value of the order for cancellation less than two weeks before the commencement of insertion; - 50% of the net value of the order for cancellation within one week of the commencement of insertion; - for cancellation after the commencement of insertion 50% of the net value of the order that is still due at the time of terminating insertion of online advertising. The price of online advertising already inserted will also be billed. Cancellation terms print: Cancellation is possible free of charge until the ad closing date. 11. Different to the above provisions, cost-free cancellation of scheduled postings is only possible until two weeks before the date of insertion at the latest. 12. The publisher reserves the right to decline advertisement orders, also single insertions, advertisement texts and supplement orders because of the content, origin or technical form according to uniform, factually justified principles of the publisher if their content violates laws or official stipulations, or their publication is unacceptable for the publisher. Supplement orders are not binding for the publisher until the presentation of a specimen of the supplement or their approval. Supplements that create the impression with the reader, through their format or layout, of being a constituent part of the magazine or that contain third-party advertisements will not be accepted. Refusal of an order will be communicated to the client immediately. Advertisements that are not recognizable as advertisements because of their editorial composition may be identified by the publisher by the word „Anzeige“ [Advertisement]. In as much as online advertising is not obviously advertising, the publisher may also identify it as such, in particular by the word „Anzeige“ [Advertisement], and/or set it off from the editorial content to make its advertising nature plain. 13. The client is responsible for punctual delivery of proper ready to print copy or supplements or for punctual delivery of materials required for online advertising. In the case of digital ready to print copy the client undertakes to deliver proper copy, complying in particular with the format or the technical specifications of the publisher, punctually for the print copy deadline. 14. All services rendered by the publisher are subject to punctual fulfillment and execution of obligations and assistance on the part of the client. In the case of audio and/or video linked advertising (e.g. banners that cause a pop-up window to open when clicked on, in which audio and/or video content is reproduced) the client is responsible for concluding the necessary agreements with GEMA [society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights in Germany] or other copyright associations and/or owners. 15. In cases where a number of related files are sent, the client will ensure that these data are sent and/or saved in a common directory (folder). 16. Digitally transmitted artwork for color advertisements can only be reliably processed with a color proof supplied on paper. Differences in color are unavoidable without a color proof, but are no entitlement to a price reduction. In every case a printout is to be sent by fax to the print shop to be able to check factual correctness. The client must expressly request a faxed correction. Only correct color adjustment ensures correct color implementation within the usual tolerances. 17. Before a digital transmission of artwork the client is responsible for ensuring that the transmitted files are free of any computer viruses. Should the publisher discover computer viruses in a file transmitted by e-mail, said file will be deleted immediately without the possibility of the client making any related claims. The publisher also reserves the right to claim for damages of the client should the publisher suffer damages as a result of such computer viruses being infiltrated by the client. 18. If artwork is transmitted to the publisher digitally by a data medium, it will only be returned on special request to the client. 19. Discernibly unsuitable or damaged ready to print copy and/or advertising material will be replaced by the client immediately when requested to do so by the publisher. The cost of producing ordered ready to print copy and/or of producing ordered advertising material and of substantial alterations to originally agreed versions that are wished by the client and for which the latter is responsible because of the technical quality of the supplied ready to print copy and/or advertising material will be borne by the client. Should any deficiencies in the ready to print copy and/or advertising material not be immediately discernible but only become so in the printing operation and/or upon insertion, the client is not entitled to raise any claims for an inadequate impression and/or poor insertion. 20. The client avouches that they are the unconditional owner of all rights of use to the advertising material necessary for publication and distribution. In this respect they indemnify the publisher from all claims by third parties, and grant the publisher the rights of usage necessary for publication of the advertising material. 18 21. The client avouches that they are entitled to set the hyperlinks connected to the online advertising. The client furthermore affirms that they will abide by the applicable data privacy legislation – in particular of the Federal and Teleservices Data Protection Act – and also impose such a responsibility on their employees. Should the client use special techniques such as cookies or tracking pixels to obtain or collect data from the insertion of advertising material in the online offering of the publisher, the client also affirms that they will abide by the precepts of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and/or of the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty (RfStV) as well as the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in the collection, processing and use of personal data. 22. In the event of wholly or partly illegible, incorrect or incomplete impression of an advertisement, the client may claim impression of a faultless substitute advertisement, but only to the extent to which the purpose of the advertisement was adversely affected. Should the publisher allow a reasonable term set them for this purpose to pass by, or if the substitute advertisement is again not free of faults, the client may claim a reduction of payment (abatement) or cancellation of the order (redhibitory action). 23. In the event of insufficiencies in online advertising the publisher will initially of their own choice offer rectification or replacement. Should subsequent fulfillment fail, the client may of their own choice demand a reduction of payment (abatement) or cancellation of the order (redhibitory action). 24. The client must report evident insufficiencies of online advertising in writing within three workdays after said online advertising goes live; otherwise a warranty claim may no longer be enforced. 25. In other respects the publisher is only liable in as much as they, their auxiliary persons and/or legal representatives are accused of deliberate or grossly negligent behavior. This does not apply in as much as the publisher violates principal obligations of the contract. 26. In cases of petty negligence the publisher and/or their auxiliary persons and legal representatives cannot be held liable for financial losses especially in terms of consequential damages, unpredictable or atypical damages and loss of profit. Otherwise in the event of financial losses in cases of petty negligence the liability of the publisher is limited to the payment to be made by the client. For claims under the Product Liability Act and for injury to life, body or health the publisher is liable according to statutory provisions. 27. All claims by the client of the publisher resulting from malperformance or insufficiencies of online advertising expire one year after the origination of such claims, that is unless they are founded on claims of deliberate negligence. 28. Proofs will only be supplied if expressly wished. The client bears responsibility for the correctness of the sent proofs. The publisher will include all error corrections of which they are informed by the print copy deadline or within a term agreed upon by the two parties. 29. If no particular sizes are specified, pricing will be based on the actual impression height that is usual for the type of advertisement. 30. If the client does not pay in advance, the invoice will be sent immediately or within 14 days of publication of the advertisement. Prices for advertising material are taken from the valid price list. Price reductions resulting from changed terms and conditions apply immediately to ongoing orders, price increases one month after announcement of the terms and conditions. If payment for online advertising is billed on a CPM basis, the publisher will inform the client on request of the number of ad impressions, the ad clicks and the ad click rate (ratio of ad clicks to ad impressions) of the web sites where the online advertising of the client is placed or, if payment is billed on a pay-per-click basis, of the number of actual clicks. 31. Payment is due within the term shown on the price list, that is unless from case to case a different term of payment or advance payment is agreed in writing. Any discounts for early payment are granted according to the price list. Agreed or allowed discounts for the insertion of a number of advertising means or upon the conclusion of blanket orders are only valid if the particular quantity and the time frame are adhered to. Upon non-adherence to the agreed quantity or time frame, the publisher is entitled to recalculate the discount proportionally to the difference between the discount granted and that corresponding to the actual quantity. 32. Upon default of payment or granting of a respite, interest of 8% above the prime lending rate will be billed or, if the client is a consumer in the sense of para. 13 of the German Civil Code, of 5% above the prime lending rate. Upon default of payment the publisher may put further execution of the current order on hold until payment, and demand advance payment for remaining advertisements. If there are well-founded doubts about the solvency of the client, the publisher is entitled even during the running time of agreed advertisements to demand advance payment of the amount due when the advertisements are completed and payment of any outstanding invoices, regardless of any originally agreed time for payment, before publishing any further advertisements. 33. On request the publisher will supply an advertisement proof. Depending on the nature and scope of the advertising order, advertisement cutouts, proof pages or complete proof numbers will be supplied. If a proof can no longer be obtained, it is replaced by legally binding certification by the publisher of the publication and distribution of the advertisement. 34. In the case of box number advertisements the publisher applies due diligence in safekeeping and forwarding the offers. Registered letters and express letters in response to box number advertisements are only forwarded by regular mail. Receipts from box number advertisements are kept for four weeks. Letters that are not collected during this time are destroyed. 35. If a joint discount is claimed for affiliated enterprises, written evidence of the affiliation status of the client is necessary. Affiliated enterprises in the sense of this condition are enterprises between which there is a capital share of at least 50%. Evidence must be produced before claiming such a joint discount. Joint discounts for affiliated enterprises are subject in every case to express written confirmation by the publisher. Termination of the affiliation of an enterprise is to be reported immediately; termination of the affiliation of an enterprise also terminates any joint discount. 36. The publisher is not responsible for delays in performance resulting from force majeure (strike, lockout, disruption of operations, etc). After removal of the obstruction the publisher can immediately publish advertisements in the next possible issue of the publication and online advertising, or wholly or partly withdraw from the contract. The client has no right to claims for compensation. 37. Alterations or additions to these general terms and conditions must be communicated in writing, by telefax or by e-mail. That also applies to alterations to this clause. 38. Any inoperativeness of a term or condition of these terms and conditions shall not affect the operativeness of the remaining terms and conditions. An inoperative term and condition is to be replaced by a term and condition that comes closest to the intended business import of the term and condition now considered inoperative. 39. The place of jurisdiction is that of the registered office of the publisher if the client is a merchant in the sense of the code of commercial law, a legal person governed by public law or a special fund under public law. The same shall apply in as much as the client, upon filing an action, possesses an office or a habitual residence in the Federal Republic of Germany. 40. The legal code of the Federal Republic of Germany shall be applicable under exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
