How binding is binding?

The school I’m depositing at wants me to sign a binding agreement that “I have withdrawn from all other schools with the intention of attending X Law. I understand that this is a binding commitment to attend X Law.”

However, I am still waiting to see if I get off of any waitlists for my top choices. Is this commitment really binding if I get off a waitlist in the future? Is it an asshole move to sign it and stay on waitlists?

Edit: Edit to say I will reach out to the school directly to ask as well :) Didn’t know if it was a faux pas to mention WLs at other schools hence asking this sub first!
