First, SIU has been rewriting a lot of things, so some of the past information may no longer apply. Second, we should keep in mind that when Zahard&Co made their contracts, they were already inside the Tower, so it makes perfect sense that the contracts they made apply to them while they may still not apply to the future Irregulars.

In contrast, Baam or Urek (i.e., Irregulars that entered the Tower some time after the Zahard&Co established the Regular system and made their contracts) isn't or at least shouldn't be bound by any pre-existing contract by default, and can only choose to make contracts or become subject to the existing contracts.

In summary, it's not that beings from outside the Tower cannot be subject to contracts therein, they merely aren't subject to contracts that have been established prior unless they choose to be included.
