Terms of use

Version of 21 August 2026. These terms apply to the shieldlist.eu site, to the Shieldlist software and to the content (rules, lists) it receives. Paid services, when they open, will be covered by additional terms of sale.

1. Who we are

Shieldlist is published by LRob SARL, 23 rue Alexandre Antigna, 45000 Orléans, France (RCS Orléans 105 115 554) — see the legal notice.

2. The software

The Shieldlist agent and controller are free software released under the GNU AGPL version 3. You may use, study, modify and redistribute them under the terms of that licence. They are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or absence of defects, to the extent permitted by law.

Shieldlist acts on the firewall of the machines it is installed on. You remain solely responsible for its configuration, the rules you enable, the addresses it bans and the consequences for your services and your users. Start in detect-only, read what it would have done, then arm it.

3. Rules and content

Free rules are released under the licence stated in each file; they may be read, downloaded and installed by hand.

Premium rules and lists are reserved for account holders under a licence of use: you may install them on the machines you administer through your controller and modify them for your own use, but not redistribute, resell or publish them.

A rule is a judgement about traffic: it can be wrong. We fix the false positives reported to us, without guaranteeing that a rule will never ban a legitimate address.

4. Support and maintenance

There is no mandatory support. We strive to fix bugs, answer reports and improve the rules, but with no commitment to a deadline or a result, free or paid, unless a separate written contract says otherwise. The channels for reporting a problem are given on the site and in the code repositories.

5. The site and online services

The site, rule downloads and, in time, accounts, lists and reporting are provided with no guarantee of availability. We may change, suspend or stop them. Your machines do not depend on them: rules arrive as files, and a controller keeps working without our site.

It is forbidden to use the site and services to attack, overload or circumvent our protections, to mass-extract content, or to share premium access beyond the machines covered by the account. Abuse leads to the address being blocked and may be reported.

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, LRob shall not be liable for indirect damages or loss of business, data or revenue arising from the use of, or inability to use, the software, rules, lists or site. For paid services, LRob's liability is limited to the amounts paid over the preceding twelve months.

7. Personal data

The processing of your data is described in the legal notice.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. Any dispute falls under the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Orléans, subject to mandatory provisions protecting consumers.
