Terms of use

Effective date: 10 November 2026.

What changed on 10 November 2026. The service is now called Cayrne, and these terms are at cayrne.com; their old address at pathofliving.com forwards here. Where these terms named Path of Living, they now say Cayrne. The reason is a correction of something unclear or wrong: these terms now name the service by its current name. Every other section reads as before. This version applies to runs started after it was posted. A run started before it stays under the version you accepted for that run.

These terms are written in plain language on purpose. Sections 1 to 5 and 7 to 15 apply to your use of Cayrne now, and section 6 joins them on the day accounts open.

Accepting these terms. The first screen of the questions links to this page under the Start button. Pressing Start is your acceptance, and these terms then apply to your use of Cayrne. Each time you press Start, you accept the version in force at that moment. The questions are for readers who accept these terms.

1. Who we are

Cayrne is run by Udefed, LLC, a limited liability company formed in Delaware, United States, Delaware file number 10762017, and run from Seoul, Korea. Our postal address is Udefed, LLC, c/o Legalinc Corporate Services Inc., 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA. You can reach us at support@udefed.com.

2. What the service is

Cayrne is a free web instrument. You answer up to forty-one questions, may type two short lines about your life, and receive a reading: a position on four axes and the state you are currently in. During the same visit the site reads those lines back to you. That is the whole current product. Beside it, you can leave your email for news and updates from Udefed, LLC, a reminder in a month, or both; that is optional, the questions and your reading work the same either way, and the privacy page says what happens to it.

The reading is a reading of how you are built and where you stand now, drawn from your answers. Section 3 sets out its limits and how to read it.

What the site collects about you, and why, is set out on the privacy page, including Google's tag, which measures whether a visit from one of our ads leads to Start and sets Google's cookies on this site when it runs. Your answers help make the questions better: we study them to find out whether the reading lands and to improve the questions and the writing, as the privacy page's reasons say. Everything these terms cover is free.

3. Limits, and how to read your result

The method page says how Cayrne works, and this section sets out its limits and how to read what it gives you. If the two ever disagree, the reading more favourable to you applies.

Not a diagnosis, and not advice. Cayrne is not a psychological assessment, not a diagnosis, not therapy and not treatment, and it is not a substitute for anyone who can actually see you. It is not medical, psychological, career, financial or legal advice. No question asks about medication or medical history, and none is a screening question. Two ask how much energy you have right now, because how loaded you are changes how a reading should be written.

Not a crisis service. If what you need right now is something other than questions about your direction in life, close the tab and look after that first. Cayrne is not a crisis or emergency service. What you write here is read later, not as it arrives, and we cannot reply to you; a question you allow us to answer publicly may get its answer on our Q&A page, later. If you need to talk to someone now, findahelpline.com lists free helplines by country.

Not a validated instrument. That word has a specific meaning in psychometrics and we have not earned it: no reliability study, no factor analysis, no norming sample. Its reliability has not been published. When enough people have answered for the numbers to mean something, we will compute reliability and publish it, whatever it shows, as the method page says. The reading is new, and we have not yet tested how well it fits real people.

Not a forecast. The result makes a case, and you judge it. It is our reading of your answers, written specific enough for you to check against your own life, line by line. Nothing here tells your future: a reading describes how you are built and where you stand now, and it does not predict what you will do, what will happen to you or how anything will turn out.

Your own judgment. Read your result as one view of your answers, and use your own judgment about what it means and what you do next. Do not rely on it alone for a decision about your health, your work, your money, your studies or the law; for those, ask someone qualified who can see you.

Because of all of the above: do not use a Cayrne result to make decisions about other people. Not hiring, not admissions, not clinical judgment, not evidence about another person in any proceeding. It was built for you to read about yourself, and in a decision about anyone else it will mislead you. These terms leave you free to show anything in support of a claim of your own, your own result included.

4. Who may use it

You must be at least 16 years old to use Cayrne. The questions do not ask your age, and we cannot check it. If you are under 16, do not use Cayrne. If you believe someone under 16 sent us a record, write to us with the reading's address and we will delete it, as the privacy page describes.

5. Acceptable use

Use the instrument as a person answering about their own life. Beyond that, a short list of things you may not do:

Sharing your own result, including screenshots and the line and link the share button gives you, is expressly fine. That is what the share button at the end of your reading is for.

A crawler or an AI system may read the public pages. Section 8 says what anyone may do with their text.

If you break this section and that causes us a loss that was a foreseeable result of what you did, including the cost of a claim someone else brings against us because of it, you are responsible for that loss, as far as the law where you live allows. This responsibility comes from a breach alone, so anything these terms allow, such as sharing your own result, is yours to do freely.

6. Accounts

These terms gain an accounts section when accounts open.

7. What you write

The two short lines you type about your life are shown back to you on your screen and stay apart from your score. Please leave out names and health details. When you finish, they are sent to us with your answers and kept with your record, as the privacy page describes. A comment you write on your reading is sent to us and stored with your record too. What you write remains yours. We keep it and read it for the purposes the privacy page sets out, on the ground it names there, and for those alone. What you write stays off other readers' screens, out of everything we publish or quote, and out of every link, unless you tick a comment for the public Q&A, below.

Feedback reward

When you rate your reading and then press Send or turn the page past the rating, a comment of 100 characters or more, counted after extra spaces are taken out, earns a code, whatever score you give and whether your comment praises the reading or criticizes it. The comment also needs at least 12 different characters, not counting spaces, with a capital letter and its small letter counted as one. Each reading earns one code at most. The code shows in place of the thank-you, and this browser's list of readings keeps it beside the reading. If the page closes before the code arrives, it does not reach you. When our subscription opens, the code gives you its first month free. Each code works once, is good until 31 March 2027, and has no cash value. A code earned by script, bot or other automation (section 5) is void. Earning a code changes nothing above: your comment stays yours, and the public Q&A below is the one place we may publish it, if you tick it there, with a comment long enough to earn a code marked as one.

The public Q&A

Beside the comment box you can tick “OK to answer this publicly (anonymously)”. If you do, you let us publish your comment, whole or a part of it word for word, without your name, with our answer on our Q&A page at cayrne.com/qa, free of charge, for as long as it stays there. We pick which questions to answer and may answer none; we never pick or pass over a question for praising or criticizing the reading, and we never change your words, though we may leave part out and mark where. The Q&A page is a public page (section 8). You can ask us to take a question down at any time, as the privacy page says. A question appears on the Q&A page and nowhere else: never in an ad.

8. Intellectual property

Every question, all 112 result texts, the axis and state names, the method page, and the design of the instrument were written for Cayrne and belong to Udefed, LLC. Every question was written from scratch, and all of it is original work that we defend as such.

The public pages. The front page, the type pages under /types/ (the list and the sixteen types), the method page, the Q&A page, the privacy page, these terms, the status page and /llms.txt are the public pages. Anyone, a crawler or an AI system included, may read their text, index it, quote it with a link to the page it came from, use it as input to an answer, and train AI models on it. This permission does not reach the questions at /app/, our server's API, or a reading: a reading's link, and what only a reading shows, stay outside it, even when the reading's holder shares the link.

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the service and to share your own result, which ends if you break section 5. Beyond what the public pages show, you do not get permission to republish the question set or the result texts, to train models on them, or to build a derivative instrument from them. Quoting a reasonable excerpt of your own result when you share or discuss it is fine and expected.

9. No warranty

Cayrne is provided as is and as available. It is free, it is not a validated instrument (section 3), and we make no promise that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or right about you, or that a reading suits any purpose of yours. Section 3 is part of this clause: the result is an argument, and arguments can be wrong. Every promise in these terms and on the privacy page stands in full beside this clause, and so does every guarantee that the law where you live gives you and holds beyond the reach of any contract.

10. Limits on liability

We are responsible for loss you suffer that we cause by breaking these terms or by failing to take reasonable care, where that loss was a foreseeable result of what we did. Because this is a free service, our total liability to you for all claims together is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim (zero, today) and USD 50.

We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, or for any loss of business, income or opportunity: Cayrne is for your own, personal use. A reading is yours to weigh (section 3), so what you decide or do because of one is your responsibility, except for a loss this section makes us responsible for.

None of this limits or excludes liability that the law does not allow to be limited or excluded: for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for harm done on purpose or through gross negligence, or under consumer protection law that applies to you whatever a contract says. Section 12 says more about the rights you keep.

11. Changes to these terms

We change these terms only for a reason, and the change note names it: a change in the law, a change in what the service does, a correction of something unclear or wrong, or a new need to protect the service or the people using it. The new version is posted at this address with a new effective date and a note at the top saying what changed.

A change takes effect when it is posted and applies to runs started after that. Once accounts exist, a change that takes something away from you or asks more of you will take effect at least 30 days after it is posted, and account holders will be emailed before it does.

Anything you sent before a change, and the reading you were given, stay under the terms in force when you sent it. If you disagree with a change, you can stop using the service and ask us to delete your record, as the privacy page describes.

12. Governing law, courts and the rights you keep

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Delaware, United States, and disputes go to the state or federal courts located in Delaware.

With Delaware law governing these terms, you keep the protection that the law of the place where you live gives you as a consumer and holds beyond the reach of any contract. If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you keep the mandatory consumer rules of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in its courts. If you live in Korea, you keep the protection Korean law gives a consumer, including the rules that a standard term unfairly against you is void and that a term whose meaning is in doubt is read in your favour, and you can bring a claim in a Korean court.

13. Ending access

You can stop using Cayrne at any time. What we kept from your runs is handled as the privacy page describes, including how to ask us to delete it.

We may change Cayrne, pause it or stop offering it, in whole or in part, and we may block access from a device or network that breaks section 5. Every promise on the privacy page stands through all of this: it says so before what we collect changes, and what we already kept stays under its rules.

Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 keep applying after you stop using Cayrne or your access ends.

14. If a court or authority sets part of these terms aside

If a court or authority decides that a part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest of these terms still applies, and that part applies as far as the law allows. If we wait before enforcing a part of these terms, we can still enforce it later. You and Udefed, LLC alone can enforce these terms.
