Attempt to define services..!
A Service is an act or performance offered by one party to
another. Although the process may be tied to a physical
product, the performance is transitory, often intangible in
nature and does not normally result in ownership of any of
the factors of production.
Can be bought and sold but which cannot be drooped on
your foot.
