If any Image featuring a Subject is used in: (i) a manner that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the Subject personally uses or endorses a product or service; or (ii) in connection with a topic that would be unflattering or controversial to a reasonable person, Licensee must accompany each such use with a conspicuous statement that indicates that the person so pictured is a model and the Image is used for illustrative purposes only.
