In a written agreement/contract what does "without respect to principles of conflicts of law" mean? Does this mean that principles of the company referenced are not to be held responsible? or does this mean that the principles may be held responsible?

Conflicts of law, in respect to contract law, referes to situations where an d agreemtn may be made in state A and performed in State(s) B, C or D. If the ways those different states interpret a certain contract clause or regulate an activity within the contract, There is usually a statement after that clause wherein the parties select a state whose law will be the deciding law, or to determine whether the entire agreemtn willo be void if anyh state finds aclause of the contract to be invalid.

Without seeing the entire agreement, it is impossible to determine if the clause you describe is intended to protect teh company or you. If you are concerned, you should cosultation. consult directly with an attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.

Good luck
