You can't claim that links are a contract. At best maintaining links is a courtesy and one you should not rely on.

Having said that I can see why this is annoying and a clear thinking business should allow manual override.

The word "contract" is just a metaphor. Your customer is going to treat a broken link as a broken promise, whether or not you actually made one.
