I think it depends on how you define a contract. This is how I would
define a contract.
Contract: An agreement regarding mutual responsibilities between two
or more parties.
"So if you sign, you're agreeing not to tell Umbridge or anyone
else..."

Thus, signing the parchment was a contract between Hermione, and
everyone who signed. It's not like she forced anyone to sign it, they
all had a choice. The fact that Marietta was either too weak to stand
up to Cho, or too weak to stand up to her parents does not excuse her
from the consequences of breaking the contract she willingly signed.

Who still feels sorry for Marietta despite it all.
