A Faustian contract (better known as Faustian bargain) or a deal with the devil, is a link and bargain between a human and a demon whereas the latter offers specific services and fulfils the individual human's wish in compensation of consuming the said human's soul after the contract is completed.
Purpose
For a demon: To consequently consume the human's soul, after fufilling the wishes of the human at even the cost of their lives.
For a human: Typically, to fulfill something tantalizing and difficult to accomplish, such as a satisfying revenge (e.g. Ciel wishes for those who betrayed the Phantomhive family to experience the same level of humiliation and suffering he did). Afterward, they are to give up their soul to the demon as payment.
Creating a Contract
In order to create the contract, a human has to summon a demon. However, it seems that they do not need to be aware of the existence of demons, attempt to summon a specific demon, or even summon one intentionally, as Ciel Phantomhive states he summoned Sebastian Michaelis accidentally. It is implied that the human must be desperately searching for a way out, if Ciel's situation is indicative of a typical summoning process, and have little or no faith in God. Sebastian states that once summoned, this fact will not change for all eternity. All the same, it seems that the human still has the option to go through and create the contract, or dismiss the demon, as when Sebastian was summoned, he asks Ciel to make a decision. However, the creation of the contract seems to be fully completed as soon as the human issues a command to the demon.
William T. Spears compares a demon's contract with a human to poking fun at them and then leeching anything that comes out as a means of survival, to which Sebastian says he does not dismiss that claim.
