Form update rules
A form update rule is a type of update rule specific to form submissions. An update rule is a definition of criteria used to update field values in contact, account, or custom object records. An update rule set is a collection of update rules to be run together in sequential order. Learn more about update rules by reviewing the examples.
Update rules will always update the target contact, account or custom object.

That means that if the conditions described for two rules are same or similar, then the rule at the bottom will overwrite the rule above. Note the use of wildcards in the conditional statements.
