> If BotGhost is forced to shut down, your bot will stop working. Your settings, custom commands, custom events, market commands, market events and any work at all hosted on BotGhost will be lost. Because BotGhost does not produce code, there is no way for us to export your bot's configuration.

I don't think I understand this part - what does the "no-code" mean in this context? How can this data not be stored somewhere for the service to function at all? Does this mean that BotGhost also has no backups, and a technical glitch could cause a similar problem?

An end user creates an application in Discord. They create a bot within that application, and Discord generates a token for the bot. They then copy the token into BotGhost, and BotGhost "operates" the bot. The application itself is still owned by the user, and BotGhost has no access to it.

botghost should still theoretically be able to serialize and export the bot's logic

They could export a DSL that captures the workflow at least.
