Terms of Use

1. Scope and App Access

The iPhone / iPad version is sold on the App Store product page for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, Android and Linux versions are free. Store prices are shown in local currency; the final amount is determined at checkout. Check the App Store page for iPhone / iPad system requirements.

Installers for other platforms are available from this site under /dl/. See Get the app for download links. If you see a system security warning when opening an installer, verify its source before following the installation guidance. Do not allow files whose source you cannot verify. Purchases, refunds and restoration of previous purchases are handled under the store’s policies.

A one-time app purchase does not include a network service plan. This site does not provide, sell or recommend nodes or subscription services, or set up servers on your behalf. Configuration and connection instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details.

2. Lawful Use and User Responsibilities

You must comply with the laws and regulations where you are located and in any jurisdiction affected by your use, as well as the requirements of the networks you access. Do not use the app or this site’s content for unlawful activity, including accessing others’ systems without permission, stealing data, distributing unlawful content, violating others’ rights or disrupting normal network operations.

Before importing a configuration, make sure you have the legal right to use the relevant server, account and configuration. Keep subscription URLs, passwords and access credentials secure; do not post them on public pages. Before troubleshooting or submitting feedback, remove information that could identify you and any sensitive connection parameters.

Understand what rules and settings do before using them. Save your existing configuration before making changes, and disconnect or restore settings when necessary. Examples in this guide explain syntax; they do not recommend any network service, content or provider.

3. Service Limits and Liability

This site’s content and the free Mac, Windows, Android and Linux versions are provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site makes no guarantees of uninterrupted availability, fitness for a particular purpose or connection results. Your experience may be affected by network conditions, system permissions, configuration differences and the status of external services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for data loss, business interruption or other indirect losses resulting from using, or being unable to use, its content or the app. Back up your configurations and important data. This site is not responsible for restoring data on your device or external servers.

These limits do not exclude liability that cannot be limited or waived under applicable law, nor do they affect rights consumers have by law. App Store transaction disputes are handled through the applicable store process. Providers of services you connect to are responsible for their own service delivery.

4. Intellectual Property and Use of Content

The Shadowrocket trademark, app and related rights belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or the respective rights holders. The official icon, interface images and guide content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Visiting this site or obtaining the app does not transfer ownership of any related trademarks, images or content.

You may read and quote necessary content for personal learning and configuration purposes, provided you retain the source and represent the original meaning accurately. Without the rights holder’s permission, do not copy, distribute or use these materials commercially beyond what applicable law permits. Do not use this site’s name or official icon in a way that falsely suggests authorization, partnership or endorsement.

5. Changes to These Terms and Feedback

These terms may be revised to reflect legal requirements or changes to the scope or features of the service. Revised terms and the update month will be posted on this page. We will provide appropriate notice of changes that materially affect users’ rights or obligations. Where the law requires separate consent, it will be obtained as required; simply visiting the site does not replace that consent.

For help with using the app, first check the FAQs in Quick Start and App Download Guide, then follow the relevant steps. For information about personal data processing, see the Privacy Policy. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions that can stand independently will remain in effect.
