The feudal contract was a binding agreement, sworn in a Commendation Ceremony, that established a specific relationship between a lord and his vassal. The lord gave the vassal a piece of land which the vassal could use to support him, and protection. The vassal gave the lord an oath of allegiance promising to answer a call to arms, serving in the lord's military, along with other obligations of service.
In the case of a king, the vassal could be a count, baron, or other member of the nobility. The counts and barons were lords with their own vassals, who were often knights.
The land given in the exchange was needed by the vassal to raise horses, so he could serve in the lord's military in time of war. The land was populated by a number of serfs who farmed it and provided income for their landlord. The land was in the form of one or more estates, called manors, and each had a house where the lord of the manor could live, called the manor house.
There is a link below to an article on feudalism, in which this is described. The link goes to a section on vassalage.
During the Middle Ages, economic life centered on the manor. Lords received manors from kings and other lords in return for military service. A manor consisted of the lord's house; cottages for his tenants; a church, mill, and workshops; and woodlands, fields, and pastures. Most of the tenants were serfs bound to the manor for life. Other tenants, called villeins, were legally free but subject to the authority of the lord.
Each villein had a contract with his lord spelling out his rights and duties. Eventually lords wrote these contracts down in account books so that everyone would know what the duties were.

No. A feudal society is when there is a caste system (sort of). It is when there's a small ruling class, a slightly larger upper class of important people, a middle class, and a huge lower class. It is impossible for someone to change classes.

The chivalric code was a code in Feudal society that nobles adhered to. The chivalric code was essential in Feudal society because it made the feudal contract meaning. Part of the code was being honest and breaking a feudal oath was unacceptable socially.
No, serfs did not take part in a feudal contract. They were born into their station in life, and there was no need to obtain the promises required for feudalism from wholly free people. The serfs had a measure of freedom, but they were bound to the land legally.

the relations between landowners and serfs varied from refion to region
The relationship between lord and vassal was determined by rules of feudalism. The term, feudalism, is not very well defined, and there is no single set of laws describing it. But this is not because the laws were unwritten, so much as because they were not uniform.
The lords promised to give their vassals protection and fiefs, or estates.
Possibly, if such a clause is included in the purchase contract. Largely depends on the severity of what is "wrong" in the description, i.e. the description of the car claims that it has never been in an accident yet a CARFAX report states that it has. A lawyer may have to be consulted in some cases.
Vassals were people who had entered into a feudal contract with their lords. As part of the feudal contract, each was required to protect the other. Usually, this meant the vassal gave military support to the lord, but the lord was obliged to support the vassal in the event that the vassal was attacked. In exchange for military support, the vassal got a fiefdom or land grant, which was an estate from which he could get an income.
