If you do not agree to any part of these terms, or if any content of Recon is illegal in the territory where you currently reside, then please do not proceed or attempt to access Recon.

Standard Membership is free. Premium Membership fees are at the rates shown on Recon.

Please note that we do not undertake background searches of any of our members or users of Recon. You therefore should exercise caution in sharing any of your personal information with other members. We do not accept any liability should information displayed on a member’s profile be untrue or misleading.
