Not at all. The relevant time is not the time you break the contract. When you enter into the contract you represent to the other party that you agree to be bound by it. If you intend to break it when you make that representation you are lying at that point, irrespective of whether you later break the contract or not.
If you enter it honestly intending to abide by it then no lie is involved. If you then break it there is still no lie involved, just a simple breach.
