Hi,
I don't think I can get you a real-world example without buying something
online :-)
if you look at the example scenarios in the bottom of the page, it actually
refers to cancelling an order once you've completed it. In the UK, we have
the Distance Selling Regulations which give buyers a 7-working-day window
in which to change their mind, see http://www.out-law.com/page-430
E.g. see point 10 on
http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/terms-and-conditions.infoThis guideline
would require that you put this notice on order confirmation/receipt page
informing users that they have this right.
I'm not sure what informing customers of their consumer rights is doing in
accessibility guidelines, but that's another argument.

I know of two. The online business banking service from Lloyds TSB and the
BravoSolution e-tendering system that is used by many UK public sector
organisations such as https://bbc.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml

Both display a warning when the session is due to expire, and it can be
extended by clicking a link. One uses a CSS overlay and the other uses a
popup window, but both require JavaScript - I don't imagine this feature
is
possible without it.
