client
One receiving services
A client is a person or organization that pays for professional services—from a lawyer, accountant, consultant, or similar provider.
The word implies an ongoing relationship rather than a single transaction: She's been my client for years.
In computing, a client is a program or device that requests services from a server.
Social services use client for those receiving assistance, softening older terms like patient or case.
