Terms of Use

1. Scope and Getting Shadowrocket

This is the Shadowrocket official site and manual, with product access guidance, configuration instructions, and troubleshooting information. These terms govern use of this site and its features. Any separately stated app license terms or store transaction rules also apply to the matters they cover.

The iPhone and iPad app is sold on the App Store for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac versions (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. The final price depends on the storefront. Check the App Store listing for iPhone and iPad system requirements. Installers for other platforms are available from this site under /dl/. For platform-specific instructions and guidance on allowing the app to open for the first time, see the download guide.

2. Lawful Use and Service Limits

You must comply with the laws and regulations that apply where you are located and to your activities. Do not use Shadowrocket or materials on this site for unlawful purposes or to violate anyone’s privacy, intellectual property rights, or network security. Before accessing, testing, or handling network resources, confirm that you are authorized to do so and follow your organization’s device and network policies.

Instructions involving imports or connections assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services. A one-time app purchase is not a network service plan; obtaining the app and using a network service of your choice are separate matters.

You are responsible for ensuring that any addresses, account details, and other parameters you enter are lawful and accurate. Keep subscription links, passwords, private keys, and configuration files secure. Before seeking help with an issue, remove sensitive information and never publish complete credentials.

3. Availability and Liability

Materials on this site and the Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are provided as is. Device state, operating system settings, network conditions, and user-configured servers can all affect results. We do not guarantee continuous availability in every environment or that sample settings will suit every specific need.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for service interruptions, unavailable connections, configuration errors, or data loss, or for any resulting indirect losses. Back up existing configurations and important data, and keep a way to restore them, before editing Config, importing rules, or changing devices.

Nothing above excludes or limits liability or consumer rights that cannot be excluded or limited by law. Payments, orders, and refunds for the iPhone and iPad app are subject to the App Store rules in effect at the time. Refund eligibility is determined under the applicable transaction rules.

4. Intellectual Property and Use of Materials

Shadowrocket is proprietary commercial software. Its trademarks, app, and related rights belong to the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or their respective rights holders. The official icon, interface assets, and documentation displayed on this site are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may consult materials on this site to understand and use the product. When quoting the documentation, cite the source, preserve its meaning, and retain rights notices. Do not present quoted material in a way that could be mistaken for a new official statement. Except where permitted by law or with the appropriate permission, do not copy or distribute the app or use brand assets to publish a product.

5. Changes to These Terms and Finding Help

These terms may be revised to reflect changes to product features, legal requirements, or the scope of the documentation. Revisions will be posted on this page, and the last-updated month at the top will be changed accordingly. Unless otherwise stated, revisions take effect when posted; any legal requirements for notice or effective dates will apply.

Review the applicable terms before continuing to use the related features. If you do not accept them, stop using those features. For common questions, see the FAQ. For instructions on importing subscriptions, using Global Routing, and testing a connection, see the getting started guide. Troubleshooting suggestions in the manual do not guarantee any particular network result.
