Tips & Warnings
Microsoft doesn't have to notify you before banning. They also don't have to refund your subscription or the remaining value of your subscription. Microsoft can even tell your ISP of any illegal activities, which could cause your ISP to drop you as a client or to take legal action.
If you purchase a previously owned Xbox, clean the hard drive and erase old files. You may have mods that you aren't aware of, and these can still be cause for banning.
Temporary bans until the year 9999 may be an error in the family settings. Disable the family settings on your account to correct the problem.
If you're placed under a temporary or permanent ban by Microsoft, don't complain in a blog or post. Microsoft can take legal action against you.
