"If you believe your account was suspended incorrectly, you do have the option to submit an appeal using the form below."
Question: What is the difference between a suspended YouTube channel and a terminated YouTube channel?
Answer: Although in the real world, you would think that there is a difference between a suspended YouTube account vs a terminated YouTube channel, however, in YouTube's eyes both mean the same thing. If a YouTube account is suspend, then it is effectively considered to be terminated as well.
This however is not permanent as you can submit an appeal to have your YouTube re-activated. It is very important to note however, you on only appeal a suspended YouTube channel once. The decision that is determined by the YouTube appeal team is final and you cannot appeal a second time. The decision can go either of two (2) ways, either they turn over the decision and give you back access to your channel and allow you to continuing possessing and using your YouTube account, or they uphold the channel suspension/termination. At that point however, you are not allowed to make a new YouTube channel, access or use another other channel to get around your account termination.

Question: Why did my channel get suspended?
The exact reasons YouTube suspends channels is never specifically given. In most cases, the site has a robust algorithm that automatically looks for specific conditions it has been programmed to look for out for by the YouTube engineers, and when these conditions are detected, the channel that is in violation is automatically flagged and suspended.

Don't be in a rush to send in an appeal. It is better to take some time and think of anything that you could've possible done to cause your channel to have been suspended.

Question: What to do if your suspension appeal is rejected?
Sadly if your suspension appeal is rejected by the YouTube Team, there is nothing further you are able to do at this point in time.
In the past, Google allowed anyone who had been suspended to send in multiple suspension appeals but as of January 2017, they changed the process to a one time only application process. If you appeal and get rejected... that's it.
Unfair, yes but we have to be mindful that Google and by extension YouTube are private companies and they are free to create and enforce their own rules as they see fit.
