About にかかわらず
In order to convey 'regardless of (A)', 'no matter if (A)', or 'with or without (A)', the expression に関わらず will often be used. This is a combination of に, the う-Verb 関わる 'to be affected', 'to be influenced', and the literary auxiliary verb ず, which connects with verbs in the same way, and carries the same meaning as ない.
This structure may be seen with verbs or adjectives in either their dictionary or negative forms, or with nouns in their dictionary form. Frequently the same word is repeated in both the positive and the negative, or grouped with かどうか in order to strengthen the 'whether (A) or not (A)' nuance.

There’s a fundamental disconnect between the sturcture details of this grammar point and several of the example sentences. Ever single structural example shows a pairing of contrasting words (expressed various ways), and yet there are multiple example sentences that do not follow this pattern:
お天気に関わらず雨天でも、例年通り、マンション周辺の草取りを行います。
《広告》会員の有無に関わらずこのジムの開店記念日のため、今週のみ入場無料の行事を実施します!
