(ii)  ³[hires or avails of] any services for a consideration which has been paid or promised or partly paid and partly promised, or under any system of deferred payment and includes any beneficiary of such services other than the person who ³[hires or avails of]the services for consideration paid or promised, or partly paid and partly promised, or under any system of deferred payment, when such services are availed of with the approval of the first mentioned person  ⁴[  but  does not include a person who avails of such services for any commercial purpose];

⁵[Explanation—For the purposes of this clause, “commercial purpose” does not include use by a person of goods brought and used by him and services availed by him exclusively for the purpose of earning his livelihood by means of self-employment;]
