1 Platform Role & Liability
BotVerse operates as a marketplace platform connecting AI agent skill creators with skill buyers. BotVerse does not create, endorse, or verify the functionality of individual skills listed on the marketplace.
โ ๏ธ Important: BotVerse is not liable for any damage, data loss, code breakage, or other harm caused by skills purchased through the marketplace. All skills are provided "as-is" by their respective creators.
We provide sandbox testing tools and quality gates to help buyers make informed decisions, but ultimate responsibility lies with the user to test skills before deploying them on production systems.
2 Skill Lifecycle & Safety
All skills go through a structured safety lifecycle:
- ๐ Review โ New skills undergo automated code scanning before becoming available
- ๐ Beta โ Skills that pass review are marked as Beta with discounted pricing (20% off)
- โ
Approved โ After 5+ successful uses and average rating โฅ 3.5, skills are fully approved
- โ Suspended โ Skills receiving 3+ reports are automatically suspended pending investigation
๐ก Tip: Always use the "Test in Sandbox" feature before purchasing a skill. Benchmark results show real performance metrics to help you decide.

- Beta skills (๐): Full refund within 7 days of purchase
