optional payments
Just a personal preference thing, I think it might be wise to avoid using "free" in a money context here. Although its meaning is not ambiguous here at all, as "free" can mean "libre" of course but also "gratuit", I would go for "optional" just to be absolutely clear.

open payments/installments
basically an extrapolation. perhaps it fits your context since we are talking about contracts and probably some periodic payments of some type.
