にかかわらず says something is unaffected by a factor: 天候にかかわらず、試合は行われます, "the match will go ahead regardless of the weather".

Besides nouns, it follows pairs of options: 参加するかしないかにかかわらず, "whether or not you take part"; 好き嫌いにかかわらず, "like it or not"; 金額の大小にかかわらず, "large or small".

It's formal and common in notices and rules. Written with kanji, it's に関わらず or に拘らず.

Be careful with にもかかわらず: the extra も changes it to "despite, even though", which appears later in this deck. にかかわらず is "regardless"; にもかかわらず is "in spite of".
