This is precisely the type of contract that I believe is an extension of the contract(s) between Zahard and the Guardians. The Zahard kingdom / administration is dependent on its existence, especially considering that Regulars could hardly climb the Tower without it.

This all suggests that it's not that Regulars make contract with each floor's Guardian per se, only that they claim their share of Zahard's "climbing" contract. In other words, they sound much more like benefactors than contractors, though it's understandable that it's called "contract with the Guardian" instead of "claiming the benefits (of the Zahard's contract)"... =P
