Terms of Use

This is the official Shadowrocket website and guide. These terms apply to browsing the website, using download instructions, and referring to related information. Please read them before use. Also review any license terms shown in the app and the applicable store transaction rules.

1. Scope and platform pricing

This site provides feature information, download instructions, and user guides for Shadowrocket. The guides explain settings and operation steps; they do not guarantee results in any particular network environment. Interfaces, system permissions, and store listings may change, so follow the prompts shown on your device.

The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time purchase of $2.99. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. The amount charged at checkout depends on the local storefront. Check the App Store listing for iPhone and iPad system requirements. See the downloads for all platforms page for availability details. Installers for other platforms are provided through this site’s /dl/ path.

2. Responsible use and user obligations

Users must comply with the laws and regulations applicable where they live and to their activities, as well as the rules governing networks, devices, and services. Shadowrocket and this site’s content must not be used for illegal purposes. Users must not invade others’ privacy, disrupt network operations, steal data, or infringe intellectual property rights.

Importing information assumes that users already have their own subscription or server details. Users must confirm they are authorized to use that information and keep their accounts, passwords, and configurations secure. Do not publicly share content that contains access credentials. When using an organization’s device or a managed network, obtain the required permission first and do not change management policies without authorization.

3. Service limitations and liability

This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services. A one-time purchase of the app is not a network service plan. The app price does not include server resources, network access, or third-party service fees. Any matters between users and their existing service providers are governed by the agreement between them.

The website content and app 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. It is not liable for service interruptions or data loss caused by network outages, system changes, configuration errors, or external service failures. Back up your configurations before updating, changing, or deleting them, and assess the potential impact of your actions.

These liability limitations do not exclude or restrict any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, nor do they affect consumers’ statutory rights. App Store purchases, payments, and refunds are subject to applicable law and the App Store transaction rules.

4. Intellectual property and use of content

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app. Its trademarks, app, and related rights belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited. The official icon and interface materials shown on this site are protected by applicable intellectual property rights. Viewing this site or obtaining the app does not transfer or grant a license to any trademark, icon, or app.

Users may consult this guide for personal learning and normal use. When quoting the documentation, retain the source and do not misrepresent its meaning. Do not use the brand to create misleading content or present information on these pages as a promise to provide a separate service. Copying, distributing, or using the content commercially beyond what the law permits requires permission from the relevant rights holder.

5. Changes to these terms and handling questions

These terms may be revised to reflect changes to features, service scope, or legal requirements. Revisions and the month they were updated will be posted on this page; important changes will also be noted in an appropriate place on the site. Revisions take effect from the stated effective date and do not retroactively diminish rights users have already acquired under the law.

If you have questions about the instructions, first check the steps in Troubleshooting or the user guide. Remove passwords, subscription credentials, and personal information when describing an issue. If you do not agree to the applicable terms, stop using the relevant website content and services. Existing transactions and statutory rights remain subject to the applicable rules.
