Actually, even before Cyclops brought it up Ace was planning to add clauses to the contract to not only secure his intellectual property but also protect himself from Cyclops. Seeing that Cyclops brought it up before he did, Ace was thrilled. 

Soon he summoned the scroll out of Dame Wasp's toy space once she was done with it and signing it with his blood he passed it to Cyclops saying, "I have signed it, if you feel the contract is to your liking please sign it."

Cyclops barely glanced at the curse contract before pricking his finger and signing it with his blood—completely unfazed. Thanks to the alliance between Ace's country's founding fathers and the Monarch, he couldn't harm Ace or those close to him unless provoked, so he didn't mind the extra safety clause in the contract Ace had added without informing him. Not that it mattered. His plan never involved hurting Ace—only manipulating him.
