Terms of Use
These terms apply to the Shadowrocket site, official manual, and app access information provided here.
1. Scope and review
This is the Shadowrocket site and official manual, with information on app access, configuration, and troubleshooting. These terms apply when you visit the site, read its content, or use its download links. Read any additional terms that apply to the app itself or App Store transactions.
Before proceeding, understand the effects of the relevant permissions and settings. Interfaces and behavior may vary across operating systems, and examples in this manual are not guaranteed to work with every device or network. If you disagree with these terms, stop using the relevant features. This does not limit any rights you have under applicable law.
2. App access and service scope
The iPhone / iPad version is sold on the App Store for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store listing for iPhone / iPad system requirements; the amount charged is the one shown by the relevant storefront.
Installers for other platforms are available through the /dl/ path on this site. See Get the App for platform options and instructions for allowing the installation on your system. Purchases, refunds, and restoration of previous purchases are handled under the applicable store's policies.
A one-time client purchase is not a subscription for connection services. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services. Setup instructions assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. Connection services are not included with the client purchase.
3. Compliant use and user responsibilities
Users on all platforms must comply with the laws and regulations where they are located and those applicable to their activities. Do not use Shadowrocket or this site's materials for illegal purposes, to infringe others' rights, access systems without authorization, or disrupt network operations. Technical examples are provided only to explain operations and configuration syntax.
Make sure you have the legal right to use any relevant servers, subscriptions, and configuration files, and keep your accounts, links, and credentials secure. Review imported configurations before use, granting system permissions, or changing rules, and back up your original settings. Do not share diagnostic records that contain personal information or access credentials.
4. Provided as is; limits of liability
The Shadowrocket app and materials on this site are provided as is. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site does not guarantee uninterrupted access, that content will always be complete, or that configurations will meet a particular need. Device permissions, system changes, network conditions, and the connection services you use may all affect results.
To the extent permitted by law, this site is not liable for unavailable services, interrupted connections, configuration errors, data loss, or resulting losses. Keep necessary backups, and stop the relevant operations and review your configuration if you encounter a problem. Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow it, or affects your statutory consumer rights.
5. Intellectual property and use of content
The Shadowrocket trademark, app, and official icon belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or the respective rights holders. Obtaining the app does not transfer ownership of its trademarks, software, or other protected content.
The manual's text, organization, and related materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. When making a reasonable quotation, credit the source and do not distort its meaning. Do not use the official icon or site content in a way that suggests authorization, collaboration, or endorsement where none exists. Uses beyond what the law permits require permission from the relevant rights holder.
6. Changes to these terms and usage guidance
These terms may be revised to reflect feature changes, legal requirements, or content maintenance. Updates and the month of the latest revision will be posted on this page. Changes that materially affect users' rights or responsibilities will be highlighted on the site, and any required procedures will be followed under applicable law. Revisions do not automatically apply retroactively to earlier conduct.
You can revisit this page before using the app. For questions about how it works, start with Troubleshooting. For step-by-step configuration instructions, see User Guide. These resources explain the features but do not replace legal advice or the applicable rules of your system or store.
