Checks should be made payable to The Clay Minerals Society. The checks need to be in U.S. dollars, drawn on an U.S. bank, and have electronically readable routing and account information on the check.

For customers paying by bank draft, overseas money order, electronic transfer, or by any other indirect payment transfer: [1] Please include your name or our invoice number in the transfer advice to allow proper crediting of your account. [2] CMS will not accept any transfers that do not equal the amount due. This means that you must prepay any fees, otherwise the bank or third party will subtract them from your remittance. Have your bank transfer directly to CMS's bank to avoid processing fees deducted by intermediate banks. If you do not prepay the fees, or your bank cannot transfer directly, please add US$30.00 to the amount of your invoice to cover these bank fees.

CMS cannot be responsible for currency sent through the mails.

Electronic Access:


Clays and Clay Minerals is available in electronic form as part of the annual subscription. The online version contains all the material of the print version. Access is available through Ingenta and GeoScience World.

Claims:


Claims for replacement copies will be honored if the request is received within 120 days of the mailing date. An issue of the journal is generally mailed the month of its cover date.

If we begin to record an excessive number of claims for an account, we will request that the correctness of the mailing address and the receiving procedures be checked and verified. If losses continue at a high rate after that, then, for any future claims for the same issues, replacements will not be sent until a more secure address is provided to us. If the same address is to be used, we will ask for payment for any claim issues sent to it.


Back Issues:
