Terms of Use

1. Scope and App Access

Read these terms before using this site. If you do not agree, stop using the materials and features provided here. This manual explains how to use the app; it does not replace your judgment about your device, configuration, or intended use.

The iPhone and iPad version is available 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. The checkout page determines the final transaction details; check the App Store listing for iPhone and iPad system requirements. Installers for other platforms are provided through this site under /dl/. See the app download page for instructions. Purchases, payments, and refunds are governed by applicable law and store policies.

2. Responsible Use and User Responsibilities

You must comply with the laws and regulations where you are located and in any region affected by your use, as well as the rules of your network, device administrator, and relevant services. Do not use Shadowrocket or materials on this site for unlawful purposes, including unauthorized system access, invasion of privacy, data theft, or disruption of network operations.

You must have the legal right to use any subscriptions, servers, accounts, and configuration files you provide. Before importing a configuration, check its source, rules, and permission requirements. Do not share links, QR codes, or logs that contain access credentials. For work devices, organizational networks, or other people's data, obtain any required permission first. You are responsible for managing your configurations and how you use them.

3. Network Services and Liability

A one-time app purchase does not include a network service plan. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services. Instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details. The relevant service provider manages service validity, access permissions, and server availability; these services are not included with the app purchase.

The app and materials on this site are provided as is. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site does not guarantee continuous availability, suitability for every environment, or results that meet specific expectations. It is not liable for unavailability, data loss, or indirect losses caused by network interruptions, configuration errors, or changes to third-party services. Back up any data you need before replacing, resetting, or updating a configuration.

The steps in this manual may vary as systems, interfaces, or permissions change. Check the prompts you see and decide whether to continue; if you are unsure of the impact, stop first. These terms do not exclude or limit liability where applicable law prohibits such exclusion or limitation, or affect consumer rights you have under the law.

4. Intellectual Property and Use of Content

The Shadowrocket trademark, app, official icon, and related rights belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or the relevant rights holders. Shadowrocket is closed-source commercial software. Purchasing or using the app does not transfer any trademark, software, or other intellectual property rights.

You may consult this manual for personal learning and use. Copying, adapting, redistributing, or using its content commercially beyond what the law permits requires prior permission from the relevant rights holder. When quoting material from this site, retain the source and necessary context. Do not alter its meaning, imply brand affiliation, or lead others to believe you have additional authorization.

5. Changes to These Terms and Usage Questions

These terms may be revised to reflect feature changes, legal requirements, or content maintenance. Revisions will be published on this page, and the month shown at the top of the page will be updated. Significant changes requiring special notice will be explained on the site. Revisions do not retroactively change rights or obligations already established by law, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

Review this page before continuing to use the site. For usage questions, start with the quick start guide. For problems, see the self-check steps and reporting requirements in Troubleshooting. When documenting an issue, remove subscription credentials, account details, and other personal data to avoid exposing access information.
