Such a contract may stipulate obligations I have *as
as customer*. It can never turn me into an employee.
A second contract would be required to do that, and
whatever is stipulated there can have no impact on
my position w.r.t. the first.

If we were to discuss a business partnership we could
agree on whatever we wanted and put that in a contract.
But in most civilised countries any other form of
contract would have to clearly define the nature of it
(sale, rent, employment, etc.) and anything going beyond
the scope of that single nature would be null and void.
