That's prudent: there is no way you can make a guarantee like that as a photographer.

The only thing you can do is object, whenever a case like that comes to your knowledge.
As it is written now, the model can sue YOU for slanderous use.
That's why I simply let that clause out:

Code:
RELEASE OF PHOTOGRAPHER FROM LIABILITY.

The Model releases the Photographer and all other persons entitled under this Agreement to use the Photographs from all liability for libel, invasion of privacy, and all causes of action whatsoever in relation to the Photographs, their making and use, the Model or the Model's property including without limitation any liability for alteration of the Photographs, whether intentional or otherwise, that may occur during the making or subsequent use of the Photographs.
