Can the validity of a model be limited, or must it be universally valid? How does this compare to the required validity of a theory or a law?

The model is based on hypothesis to get an initial idea for analyzing a complex problem. Hence, the validity of a model is limited and may not be valid universally. On the other hand, theories and laws are confirmed hypothesis which are universally valid. These are formulated after repeated testings. theories are more explanatory.
