That was not a contract, and US law would not apply to it one way or another.

But I am pretty sure that you can't actually have a non-paid work placement or can you?
You can't have a contract without a mutual exchange, so that would be correct. If you want real legal advice, talk to a lawyer. I am just a web programmer who knows a lot about law. And if you are not working in the US, I haven't the slightest clue about your situation since our laws could be completely and totally different.
