# 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.
⚠️ 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.
