I can only say that if you don't do anything against the law, there is nothing unethical. In this case, your friend is kind and offered you help sincerely. He did not pay anything except sign/signing a contract. To me, that is fine. I will remember his kind act and help him in return in future if I have the opportunity to do so.

Which word in bold should I use?

Many thanks in advance.

@tanguatlay,
Neither is correct. The problem is that the verb "sign(ing)" is not related to "pay".

I would reword this; "He did not pay anything. He just signed a contract." Is this really what you want to say? (Or, is it "He did not pay anything or sign a contract"?)
