expression
please understand (that...); please bear in mind (that...)
A polite, honorific set phrase used to ask someone to keep something in mind or to understand a situation. Often used in formal requests or explanations.

ご了承ください is a more common and slightly less formal phrase for 'please understand/acknowledge'. お含みおきください is more polite and implies a request to keep something in mind for future reference.
A set phrase combining the honorific prefix お, the verb 含む (to include, to hold inside), the auxiliary verb おく (to do in advance/keep), and the polite imperative ください. Literally 'please keep it included in your mind'.
