Simple permission is not a contract. A contract must be supported by
consideration (ie. money). If you paid your model for the right to use the
image, then (s)he cannot withdraw that permission, barring a specific clause
allowing it, or some time limitation on the use, because you then have a
contract. If you did not provide consideration to the model, there is no
contract in place, only permission, which can be withdrawn at any time.

If there is such a thing as a unilateral contract, it can
also be withdrawn unilaterally, so is not a binding contract
at all. I use this concept for my model releases. The
subject grants me permission to use their likeness. The
permission being what you would call an unilateral contract
can be withdrawn at any time by the subject.
