You're looking past the first sentence
"A signed Membership Recruitment Acceptance or a Continuous Open Bidding (COB) Acceptance is binding." That's the part that refers to informal recruitment. As soon as a PNM accepts a bid through any form of recruitment, that bid is binding for an entire year.
The part you highlighted refers to the fact filling out a preference card is saying "I agree to accept a bid from any chapter on this card" and is therefore also binding, even if the PNM gets her second choice and decides not to "accept" after all. The last part of the statement refers to when a PNM does not match (either via SIP or being cross-cut) after Preference round. If she does not receive a bid from any chapter she attended on Preference night, was released or dropped out of recruitment early, or did not accept a snap bid,
then she is eligible for COB.
