You can easilly be tricked into thinking you have to work for free. But you'll find many courts have laws againist it. Some countries literally have a mechanism for voiding "unfair contracts" and many clauses in unfair contracts aren't actually valid. Just because it's in a contract doesn't mean it's valid. For example, my rental contract says I am not allowed to have pets. The German courts have said that clause is not valid. People keep it in their contracts to stop people who don't know their rights getting pets. While people such as myself get pets, there are 4-6 dogs in my building.
The US for example has also voided debt that was linked to people's future earnings because it would result in them working for free and that would be slavery.
