Conditional New York Waiver of Call on Production: A conditional waiver sets specific requirements or conditions that must be met for the Subject's likeness, voice, or performance to be used.

Exclusive New York Waiver of Call on Production: An exclusive waiver grants the producer exclusive rights to use the Subject's likeness, voice, or performance, prohibiting the Subject from participating in any other similar productions during a specified period.
