• Have a registered account on the Site;

• Are legally capable of entering transactions;

• Accept these Terms and the Catalogue Rules.

• Sellers, who list fishing gear on the Catalogue;

• Buyers, who purchase items from the Catalogue.

Pro Sellers are identified with a "Pro" tag. Additional terms apply and European consumer protection laws govern these transactions.

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Recast. They govern your use of the Site and our Services. You agree by registering an account or accepting updated Terms.

Defined words in bold have specific meanings. Catalogue Rules supplement these Terms. If there is a conflict, the Catalogue Rules take precedence.

Creating an Account. To use Recast, you’ll need to register an account with a valid email, username, and password. Please don’t use disposable or masked emails, as these may be blocked by our system.

Account limits. You’re allowed one personal account. If your account is compromised, we’ll help you recover or re-register. If you're a Pro Seller, you may also hold one additional Pro account, which must be tied to a separate email address and clearly distinguishable from your personal account.
