The contract lasts forever or until Percy and Ipkesh both agree to end it.

The first pact (get Vox Machina into the prison safely in exchange for killing Utugash in secret) ends when both sides have delivered. The other pacts can be activated by Percy at any time if he's near the contract.

The second pact says that Percy can summon five devil servants for a month. In exchange, Ipkesh gets to install at least two devils in a temple.

The third pact says that Percy can heal himself and/or others or instantly kill enemies. In exchange, Ipkesh gets Percy's soul.

If Percy breaks a pact (by interfering with the installation of devils or outing Ipkesh's plans for Utugash, for example), Ipkesh gets Percy's soul. If Ipkesh breaks a pact (by not delivering powers or not providing passage to the prison), Ipkesh has to immediately pay Percy 15,000 gold.

In short, very little risk for Ipkesh, lots of risks to the temptation-prone Percy.
