Contractually means “as the contract says” or “by the terms of the contract.” You use it when you want to mark that something is not only fair or usual, but actually promised in the agreement. A company may be contractually to pay; a worker may be contractually to leave. It is the adverb that matches contractual, so it tells you how something is required or allowed, not what kind of thing it is. Formal, office and legal English. In casual speech people often say “in the contract” instead.
