  • GOCare-SCTC-T&C | SCTC

    SCTC GOCare SMS Alert Terms & Conditions Created: Jan 27, 2025 These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of the text messaging (“Alerts”) offered by SCTC and its affiliates (collectively, “COMPANY”, “us”, and “our”). The Alerts are available only to subscribers of COMPANY services. These Terms apply in addition to all other terms, agreements, and policies that apply to the COMPANY services. In order to use the Alerts, you may be required to provide information about yourself (such as account identification, phone number(s), and contact details) to verify your status as the account holder or authorized person on the COMPANY account. By providing your mobile phone number(s) to COMPANY and its affiliates, you provide us with your express consent to receive text message (Short Messaging Service “SMS” and Multimedia Messaging Service “MMS”) alerts at that number and (i) acknowledge and represent to us that you are the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) that you link to our text message service or have been granted permission by the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) to enroll such mobile phone(s) in the service; (ii) you grant COMPANY express consent to send text messages to that (those) mobile phone(s) through your wireless phone carrier unless and until such permission is revoked in accordance with these terms and conditions; (iii) your receipt of SMS and/or MMS messages from COMPANY (“COMPANY alerts”) is NOT a violation of state or federal rules including, but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act; (iv) you understand that your wireless carrier may charge you additional message and data fees for receipt of our text messages; and (v) by granting such permission to COMPANY you are hereby requesting to receive such messages in spite of the fact that your number may otherwise be on the federal, or a state’s, do not call list and you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that such text messages shall not be in violation of such do not call list(s). Types of Alerts: Informational and emergency text message alerts may be activated on your account automatically, you may receive enrollment confirmation message, or both. These messages allow us to inform you about planned and unplanned service outages in your area, appointment reminders, as well as remind you about important account information (invoice availability, balance due and payment due dates, payment confirmations, and other issues). If you do not wish to receive such alerts, you must notify us as indicated below. We may also inform you about the availability of special promotions that we are offering through text messages. Stopping Alerts: Text alerts can be cancelled at any time by texting "STOP" from your mobile phone in response to a text message from COMPANY, or texting “STOP” to 866-457-5844. You agree that your prior express consent to receive text alerts shall continue indefinitely unless and until you cancel your prior express consent through the means mentioned in this paragraph. Other methods or means attempted to revoke your prior express consent may cause unnecessary delay or be ineffective and you hereby release COMPANY from any liability related to your efforts to revoke your prior express consent by methods or means other than texting STOP (without spaces or other words) to 866-457-5844. If revoking your consent by texting "STOP" to 866-457-5844 (or in response to a COMPANY Alert), your text message should contain only the word STOP without any additional words, spaces, or characters either before or after the word STOP. COMPANY will reasonably endeavor to comply with other text (email or phone) communications in which you indicate a clear and unmistakable intent to revoke your prior permission; however, you (a) understand that text messages to 866-457-5844 go to an automated number that is not monitored by a human, and the ability to interpret your intent is severely restricted and, therefore, (b) you hereby release COMPANY from any liability for your efforts to revoke your permission via a text message that does not strictly comply with the terms stated in the first sentence of this paragraph. Furthermore, by activating text alerts, you hereby grant COMPANY express permission (without qualification) to respond to your cancellation request whether that request came through a telephone call with a COMPANY employee, or by texting "STOP" with a confirmatory text message in return that will (i) confirm receipt of your cancellation request as well as (ii) indicate that you will no longer receive text alerts from COMPANY. Furthermore, you agree that COMPANY will reasonably endeavor to send you the aforementioned confirmatory cancellation text message in a timely manner. However, you hereby release COMPANY from any liability related to a confirmatory text message or the timeliness in which you receive one. Get Help or Support: To get help or answers to your questions, visit our website at https://www.sctc.org/alertsFAQ , text the word HELP without additional characters to 866-457-5844 for assistance with COMPANY Alerts (you must be registered for COMPANY Alerts for proper HELP by text), or call 866-457-5844. Cost of Alerts: COMPANY does not charge to send you text alerts. However, depending on the plan you subscribe to with your wireless carrier, message and data rates may be applied by your mobile carrier. Check with your wireless phone carrier for your plan details. Message Frequency: Message frequency will be at least monthly, but ultimately depends on the type of alerts sent to your mobile phone, the manner in which you conduct account activities, as well as the number of planned or unplanned maintenance events scheduled in your area. Customers can typically expect 3 - 5 messages per month from COMPANY Alerts.

COMPANY is not liable for the availability (or lack thereof) of wireless network coverage, the failure of the wireless networks to complete a transaction, deliver an Alert or message, or otherwise interfere with the timeliness or transmission of SMS and/or MMS or the Alerts. COMPANY disclaims any responsibility for any wireless service used to access the Alerts. COMPANY Alerts are available to customers based in the United States.

You are fully responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of text messaging, including expressing your desire to not receive them.

  • Capital Credits | SCTC

    Capital Credits As a member of Scott County Telephone Cooperative, you’re also an owner. We are a not-for-profit entity. We don’t answer to shareholders – we answer to you, our members. When you make a payment to SCTC, a portion of that money goes toward strengthening the network that provides you service. Those funds are called capital credits, and they are used to invest in capital additions and improvements to ensure system reliability and meet the growth demand SCTC is experiencing. This reduces the need for interest-bearing loans, which helps to keep costs down. A record of your investment, or capital credit account, is established in your name when you become a member of our cooperative. Each year, any funds remaining after expenses have been paid (margins) are allocated to your capital credit account. Capital credits, which are based on the amount of applicable services you have purchased over the year, vary from member to member and year to year. The SCTC Board of Directors, after assessing the financial condition of the co-op, determines what portion, if any, of margins can be returned or distributed to members. This process helps keep the cooperative financially stable while offering members the benefit of a distribution whenever possible. When we have a good financial year, you benefit. Definitions What are capital credits? What is a capital credit allocation? What is a discounted distribution? What does SCTC do with capital credits when they are not distributed? How do I receive my distribution if I'm a former member and don't receive a bill? Estate Refunds If a member passes away, the administrator of their estate must notify the cooperative in order to claim the remaining capital credit balance at a discounted distribution rate. The administrator of the estate of a deceased Scott County Telephone account holder may receive the estate payment for a capital credit refund by doing ALL of the following: Providing a copy of the death certificate of the deceased member Submitting Scott County Telephone Cooperative’s CAPITAL CREDITS CLAIM FORM. Valid Driver’s License-OR- Original documentation designating as Court Appointed Representative of the Estate (from court) Payments to estates are made for funds up through the year of the death of the member. All deceased members’ remaining capital credits can be paid out at a discounted rate after receiving the approval of the Scott County Telephone Cooperative Board of Directors. IMPORTA NT THINGS TO KNOW Estate payments are mailed after the approval of the Scott County Telephone Cooperative Board of Directors. Capital Credits Claim Form must be notarized. No interest is earned on capital credits. If you are an active member of Scott County Telephone Cooperative, your distribution will be applied to your bill. Capital credits that are claimed early due to the death of the SCTC member are returned to the family member at a discounted rate. Unclaimed capital credits go back to the cooperative to be distributed to the active members’ accounts. Capital credits are the return of money paid for services in a previous year and are generally not taxable income for residential customers, unless the bills paid were deducted for tax purposes. Businesses may be subject to different IRS guidelines. Members should consult with a tax professional for questions related to income tax filings. SCTC does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice and this information is provided as a courtesy only. DO WE OWE YOU MONEY? Unfortunately, we can’t always find everyone who has earned a capital credit. Enter the first three letters of your last name in the search box below to search for any un-cashed – a.k.a. unclaimed-capital credit checks. If you find your name listed, please send an email to ccinquiry@sctc.org and include the name of the SCTC member. Please provide the following: Your previous service address(es) The approximate dates you were at the previous address(es) The last four of your social security number Your current mailing address A copy of your driver’s license will need to be provided prior to our mailing your check.
