| Client |
We use the term "Client" to refer to the photography companies that use our services, as opposed to customer (see below) |
| Customer |
We use the term "Customer" to refer to the person who is actually purchasing the prints, as opposed to client (see above) |
| Photo Event |
This is frequently the name we use to refer to a ProofStation event database. This is to distinguish it from an Event which may encompass more than one Photo Event (if multiple photographers are used) and also has more information than the ProofStation event database (such as event host details and printing information). |
| CRP |
Client Received Payment - This is the term we use to refer to orders where you, the client, have taken payment as opposed to ones where we have handled the customer's payment. |
| NVAS |
Non VAT Agent Scheme - We are a VAT regsitered company and this created a problem where we were accepting payments for orders for clients that are not VAT registered as we still had to charge VAT to those customers, meaning that those clients effectively lost that VAT money from their sales. After discussion with HM Revenue and Customs we determined that with the clients agreement we could collect payment from those customers acting as agents for them and under those circumstances all money taken would be paid direct to the client with no VAT taken out. We would them invoice them separately for printing charges etc. This is what we have named the Non VAT Agent Scheme or NVAS and it is the best way for non VAT registered clients to work with Parker Franklin. We do require a letter from those clients stating "Company X is not registered for VAT and we authorise Parker Franklin Ltd. trading as OrderMyPhotos to act as agents for us in collecting payments from our customers." |
