Terms of Use
This is the official Shadowrocket site and manual, with app access guidance, configuration instructions, and troubleshooting information. These terms apply to use of this site, its documents, and its download guidance. App licenses and App Store transactions may be subject to separate rules, which govern those matters.
1. Scope and How to Get Shadowrocket
The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Currency, final charges, and system requirements vary by App Store region; refer to the App Store listing for details. Purchases, payments, refunds, and restoration of purchases are subject to the applicable store's policies.
For iPhone and iPad, verify the developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, and app ID 932747118 on the App Store product page. For other platforms, get the app from this site's download page. Installers are provided at /dl/shadowrocket/. Mac downloads are available for Apple silicon and Intel.
2. Lawful Use and Service Limits
Users must comply with the laws and regulations where they are located and in any jurisdiction affected by their use, as well as the terms governing the networks, devices, and services they access. Do not use the client for unlawful activity, to infringe others' rights, to access systems without authorization, or to disrupt normal network operations.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy nodes or subscription services. Configuration instructions assume that users already have their own subscription or server details. A one-time client purchase does not include a network service plan; obtaining the client provides no network routes, data allowance, or entitlement to external services.
3. Configuration and Data Responsibilities
Users are responsible for verifying that their server information comes from a lawful source and that they are authorized to use it. Keep subscription links, account credentials, and Config files secure. Before sharing logs or screenshots, remove personally identifying information and access credentials.
Back up your configuration and check how to restore it before importing, replacing, or migrating settings. Changes to rules, DNS, Global Routing, and On Demand may alter connection paths; verify the results on your own network. If the system blocks a file when you first open it, verify its source, then follow the instructions for allowing the installation.
4. Availability and Disclaimer
The client and materials on this site are provided as is, without a guarantee of continuous availability across all devices, operating systems, or network environments. Store region restrictions, system policies, network conditions, and changes to services you already use may affect downloads or connections. Examples in the documentation do not guarantee any particular connection result.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this site is not liable for service unavailability, configuration errors, interruptions, data loss, or resulting indirect losses. Users should back up important data. These terms do not exclude or limit liability where prohibited by law or restrict consumers' statutory rights.
5. Intellectual Property and Use of Content
The Shadowrocket trademark, official icon, and related intellectual property rights in the app belong to its developer or the respective rights holders. Purchasing or downloading the client does not transfer intellectual property rights in the trademark, app, or documentation.
The text and materials on this site are intended to help users understand and use the client. When quoting them, retain the source and represent the original meaning accurately. Do not present modified content as an official release or use brand marks in a misleading way. Content belonging to stores or other rights holders remains subject to their respective rights.
6. Changes to These Terms and Support
These terms may be revised in response to legal requirements or changes to features or access procedures. Revised terms and the update month will be posted on this page. Changes that materially affect rights or obligations will be noted on relevant pages; their effective date will follow the notice and applicable law.
Review the current terms on this page before use. For operational questions, see the FAQs or getting started guide. For App Store transactions, use the transaction support channels provided by the store.
