Symtoms

'Rule' instance expected, got OrderedDict([('title', 'sdfsd'), ('body', 'sdfsdf')])

Cause

for rule in rules_data:
    Rule(
        contract_n = contract,

Solution

use constructor as ModelClassname.objects.create() not ModelClassname()

for rule in rules_data:
    ruleObj = Rule.objects.create(
        contract_n = contract,
        **rule
    )
