If you’re on Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T, You can NOT buy an off contract 5c or 5s from Apple’s website. There is no option for it. If you go into an Apple store and ask for one though, they will sell it to you.
They purposely disabled it on their website / online store, no doubt at the request of the carriers. I have Verizon, and through their own web portal, I can buy off contract 5c or 5s (they call it “month-to-month”), but I have to order it from them and have them ship it to me, etc. Again more BS by the carriers that Apple caves into.
