CLAIMS POLICY
Subscribers may place claims for undelivered issues. The ACA is not responsible for replacing issues that have arrived damaged. Due to postal irregularities, U.S. domestic claims must wait eight weeks after publication and international claims must wait 12 weeks after publication before claims are considered.

Agencies receiving issues on behalf of end users are responsible for delivery to the end user. Issues that have been shipped to the agency will not be replaced without payment for the replacement issues and shipping. Repeated claims for subscriptions delivered to the end user may, at ACA's discretion, instead be delivered to the agency or to a U.S. domestic address for pass-through delivery to the end user. If more than two consecutive issues are claimed in a row, we retain the right to charge for postage and/or replacement costs.

REPLACEMENT ISSUES
Replacement issues may be purchased by contacting orders@armscontrol.org and requesting an invoice for the specific issue(s) and shipping costs. Tracking may be available for an additional cost.
