Please note that the comment about the confirmation email being sufficient is in the FAQ, not the actual text of the regulation
Here's the link to the FAQ (found it in one of the other RGN threads). See last page for the cancellation part.

The wording of the regulation itself seems somewhat open to interpretation
. Not being a lawyer, I have no idea what the correct interpretation is. One way of reading it would suggest it applies only to tickets that have a US portion. But another interpretation would suggest that it applies to all sellers of transportation in the US. As a lay person,if the goal is consumer protection, then as long as the ticket is sold within the US by a US seller, I don't know why the regulations shouldn't apply irrespective of the routing itself.
Guess we'll see what happens in the coming week or two
