Cherry Capital Connection, LLC, dba Cherry Capital Communications ("C.C.C.") provides Internet access and Voice Over Internet protocol (VoIP - telephone) ("Service") using fiber optic cable ("Delivery").  This Delivery is designed to pre-commit potential customers along a construction route or road segment to initiate Service if C.C.C., in its sole discretion, is able and willing to install and activate available fiber optic cable for Delivery.

Each service pod (area or neighborhood) is unique and C.C.C. is devoted to installing fiber optic cable  and activating Service to your location when it is economically and technically feasible.  The more locations that pre-commit along a construction route or road segment, the more likely C.C.C. can decide to install fiber optic cable and activate Service.  This Fiber-Hood fiber optic cable Delivery and activation process does not guarantee that C.C.C. can or will install fiber optic cable and activate Service.

By using the Service, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of this agreement and to the C.C.C. Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policy, which is posted to the C.C.C. website https://www.cherrycapitalcommunications.com, which Customer acknowledges having read.    C.C.C. reserves the right to change these policies at any time and without notice. Customer's continued use of the service after any changes to the Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy shall reflect Customer agreement thereto.

VoIP Service availability

C.C.C. VoIP Service is not a telecommunications service and is provided as a "best effort" service.  There are important distinctions between a telecommunications service and C.C.C. VoIP service ("VOIP").  VOIP service is subject  to different regulatory treatment than a telecommunication service.  This treatment may limit or otherwise affect your rights of redress before regulatory agencies.  No guarantee is made on the availability of the service.  The service relies on Internet connectivity at the C.C.C. data center and your service location and may be affected by internet disruptions, power outages, radio interference and other factors.  Occasionally, the service may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance or technical difficulties.  It is recommended to have a back up form of communication available such as a soft phone, mobile phone or hard line connection.  C.C.C. may connect our VoIP equipment to the Customer's existing phone wiring.  However, C.C.C. is not responsible for maintenance or repair of the Customer's wiring or for any service disruptions caused by existing wiring.  C.C.C. VoIP service may not support data calls such as Fax machines, alarm systems, medical devices, credit card devices or any device that relies on analog service.  C.C.C. VoIP service does support digital based voice devices. 

 

VoIP 911 Dialing

C.C.C. 911 service is different from traditional telephone 911 and cellular\/wireless 911.  Depending on the capabilities of your local emergency call center, your name, address and phone number may or may not be automatically transmitted to the operator, be prepared to the provide this information.  If service is disrupted as described above, 911 dialing will not be available.  Battery backup that supports 6 hours of power is suggested.
