# Quarantine for CAThletes & Cooldown for Clothes The **14-day** **Quarantine period** for CAThletes bought or transferred outside of the official in-game Marketplace **has been implemented** **as part of our effort to combat system abuse** as well as **ensure a safer environment for honest players**, **reducing the risks of scam** purchases outside of the official Marketplace. The CAThletes transferred outside of the official in-game Marketplace will be **unable to engage in any in-game activity or perform any action in the game** for 14 days since the transfer. Simular, the items transferred outside of the official in-game Marketplace go under 14-day customs inspection during which they can't be used. ![](https://2040161758-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQv3Fx17daQULohiqxg79%2Fuploads%2Fxmr54Z06dpbTn9TQBnBV%2FIMG_1507.jpg?alt=media\&token=7d7e381b-0e14-48d3-9835-73e71cc787d4) ⚠️ Please note that these NFTs are still owned by their owners, we **have no intention to challenge this ownership**. The Quarantine period only puts **limitations** on their taking part in the in-game activities within 14 days from transfer. *\*\*\** **24-HOUR COOLDOWN FOR CLOTHES (aka WASHING)** A shorter **cooldown** period for **NFT items of clothing** (*sneakers, hats, shorts, T-shirts, accessories, artefacts*) makes it **impossible to reuse** (put on again) **instantly** right after them being taken off a CAThlete. It's kind of putting clothes into a **washing machine** and having them **cleaned** before they could be put on another CAThlete or at the same CAThlete again.
