Harry can't lie because one cannot say untruths in Parseltongue, not because of some contract. Voldemort's holding all the cards here, and he's only bound by what Harry might do to become a liability.
EDIT: And right after posting, I realized what was meant, that it is no longer betrayal when the agreement is void. My apologies.
