1. Purpose and Scope

This website is maintained by the Regulated Industries Commission (RIC) of Trinidad and Tobago. It provides public access to regulatory determinations, consultative documents, annual reports, final decisions, price reviews, statistics, calculators, and third-party web hyperlinks.

The materials available on this website, including all downloadable media, are provided for general informational and public transparency purposes only. They do not constitute formal legal, financial, or professional engineering advice.

2. Digital Reconstruction, OCR, and Accuracy Notice

Historical and archived documents, on this portal have been converted from their physical formats using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), deskewing, and manual or automated visual reconstruction.

While the RIC takes reasonable steps to maintain data accuracy, these automated digital interpretation processes are imperfect. They may introduce errors, omissions, omissions of text fragments, or visual distortions to official logos, stamps, tables, and seals.

3. Definitive Authority and Original Scans

In the event of a discrepancy, variance, or semantic conflict between a digitally processed online document and the official physical archival records maintained at the RIC Head Office, the official hard-copy archival record shall remain the sole, definitive, and legally binding authority. Users are strictly responsible for verifying critical regulatory calculations, clauses, or historical codes against original physical source texts before taking actionable steps.

4. External Third-Party Hyperlinks

For user convenience, this website contains interactive links directed to external corporate platforms, public ministries, and utility service providers, including the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) and the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA).

The RIC exercises no administrative control over the content, uptime, cybersecurity policies, or text accuracy of these external web locations. Providing a link does not signify a formal endorsement of the external entity’s subsequent web updates or operational policies.

5. All-Encompassing Limitation of Liability

The RIC, alongside its Commissioners, executive directors, officers, and employees, explicitly disclaims all liability for any direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental losses, damages, or statutory penalties arising from:
