Terms of Use

1. Scope and Acceptance

Shadowrocket Guide (shadow-update.com) is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. It provides app download links, configuration guides, and troubleshooting information. These terms apply to this site, its documents, and download guidance. Any license terms presented in the app, App Store transaction rules, and mandatory legal requirements apply separately within their respective scopes.

Before proceeding, make sure you understand the relevant steps and risks. If you do not accept the applicable terms, stop using the relevant services. Minors should read these terms with a parent or guardian and follow local laws and platform rules.

2. Where to Get Shadowrocket and Pricing

The iPhone / iPad version is available 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. The final store price depends on the store currency and the amount shown on the product page. Check the App Store page for iPhone / iPad system requirements.

Installers for other platforms are distributed through the /dl/ path on this site. Choose a platform on the all-platform download page and review the installation instructions for that system. Purchases, refunds, and restoring purchases are handled under the applicable store rules.

A one-time app purchase does not include a network service subscription. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy nodes or subscription services. Configuration guides assume you already have your own lawful subscription or server details. Users are responsible for fees charged by external services and for resolving service-related matters with their providers.

3. Lawful Use and User Responsibilities

You must comply with the laws and regulations where you live and where you use the service, as well as the rules governing the networks, devices, and services you access. Do not use this site or Shadowrocket for unlawful purposes, including accessing systems without authorization, stealing data, distributing malware, or infringing others’ rights.

Make sure you are authorized to use any configurations, subscriptions, or server details you import, and keep your account information and connection credentials secure. Remove sensitive information before sharing logs or configurations. Back up your settings before changing rules, and check that they suit your device and network. Examples in the manual explain syntax only; they are not ready-to-use connection services.

4. Intellectual Property and Permission to Use

Shadowrocket is a closed-source commercial app. Its trademarks, app, and related intellectual property belong to its developer, Shadow Launch Technology Limited, or the respective rights holders. The official icon, screenshots, and other materials in the documentation are protected by applicable law.

Visiting this site or obtaining the app does not transfer ownership of any trademark, app, or document. When quoting the manual fairly, credit the source. Do not alter content in a misleading way or impersonate the brand to publish apps or download links. Copying, distributing, or using materials commercially beyond what the law permits requires permission from the rights holder.

5. Availability and Limitation of Liability

This site’s materials and the app are provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee continuous availability, fitness for a particular purpose, or compatibility with every device or network. We are not liable for data loss, lost configurations, or business interruption resulting from use or inability to use the site or app.

Network conditions, system updates, user configurations, and changes to external services can all affect results. Keep backups and test configurations before using them in critical environments. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be limited by law or affects rights you have as a consumer under applicable law.

6. Changes to These Terms and Support

We may revise these terms to reflect feature changes, operational needs, or legal requirements. Updated terms will be posted on this page, and the month shown at the top will be updated. Significant changes will be noted on the site. Revised terms apply to future use from the stated effective date and do not retroactively reduce rights already acquired under applicable law.

If you have questions about these terms or how to use the app, see the FAQ and the getting started guide for troubleshooting guidance. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.
