Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
French term or phrase: indifférent
From a Freight Forwarding Contract.

La responsabilité (du prestataire) est donc de plein droit engagée en cas d'inexécution de sa Prestation, sans que son absence de faute, indifférente, suffise à l'exonérer.

Explanation:
I'm not sure of the right legal phrasing, hence my low confidence, but I think it means that whether or not the service provider is at fault this cannot be used as an excuse - the reason is immaterial.
