    Confusingly it says...



    If the contract has no notice period then I would read in to it they cannot give notice as the last point in the paragraph refers to the contract conditions? I could see how you argue the other way though.

      If there is no notice period specified, then it's one week after the first month. I believe the same applies to employment contracts where no notice is specified.

        Does this mean that I cannot quit this contract at all? What if I do quit, would they sew me or what?


        Thanks in advance...

            That is indentured labour and probably illegal under anti-slavery legislation.
