Periodically when starting a show, you may be served an advertisement when logged into an ad free tier subscription. There is no mention of 'ad' in the TOS to indicate ads may appear with a subscription shown up with an advertised 'ad free' tier.
Background edit
When logged in with an ad free subscription, I received a skippable ad promoting a different show. After reaching out to customer support, they responded stating, "These are not traditional ads or commercials but rather promotional trailers for other content that might interest you."
