What kind of contract? On a dedicated server, this would be permitted, though completely ineffective for Bitcoin as abelenky notes below.  On a shared server, it is almost certainly forbidden by terms of service; the admins will kill your mining job when they find it, and possibly terminate your contract.

No you cannot.

CPUs and GPUs can not mine bitcoin anymore.  
(they can mine all they want, but they will not find a block for literally thousands of years, nor contribute a meaningful share to a pool)

Only specially designed ASICs can do any effective bitcoin work anymore.

You may be able to find some AltCoin that you can work on.
