Re: Minors signing contract
Those young persons not of legal age are said to be under the disability of minority, meaning that, generally speaking, minors are not bound by the contracts they sign unless they ratify them after attaining the age of majority.
Exceptions are frequently made for the necessities of life such as food, rent, utilities, etc.
One would not expect a minor to be bound by a contract such as you describe, but then one does not generally expect minors to be employed in places where contracts are required.
