gratuitous service
Explanation:
This is "service" in the sense of (Dienst-)Leistung. The term with a wider meaning would be "performance".

Leistung itself is a general term with many translations. You have to be more specific if your agreementgives you more details, what kind of "Leistung" they are talking about.

Instead of gratuitous also free of charge is used in a more general sense

Explanation:
Both JE-Access and Charass are basically right. I think that "unpaid work" might be clearer, depending on the larger context. "work free of charge," or "for no fee" or even "without remuneration" would be my next choices of wording.
