You agree that you are solely liable and responsible for any ACH fees that you incur for a returned, reversed, or rejected transaction; You agree that in the event of an ACH return, reversal, or rejection of a debit transfer of funds that were utilized for trading, you will, upon Xxxxxx’s request, deposit at least the amount of the funds that were utilized for trading into your Kalshi account.

Market makers who receive these benefits may be able to price their quotes in ways that are materially different from other Kalshi members who are not eligible to receive these financial benefits. Market makers may also be eligible for sophisticated risk management tools, such as order protections whereby orders are canceled if the market maker’s trading session disconnects from the Exchange, and may be eligible to greater throughput to the Exchange. These risk management tools enable market makers to effectively manage the risks of their market making activity, and may not be available to members who are not market makers. These tools may give market makers a trading advantage over members who are not market makers. You further acknowledge that market makers may be required, during specific times, to maintain a maximum spread size and may be required to maintain a minimum depth within the spread. Outside of the required times, market makers are not required to, and potentially will not, maintain the maximum spread size and minimum depth.
