  Howdy! Yes, you can request a refund for any premium theme purchased within the last 30 days, following the instructions here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/

  From that support doc:
  If a Premium theme doesn’t work out we offer a full refund up to 30 days from your purchase. To cancel your purchase and obtain a refund, please use the Cancel button on the Store -> My Upgrades page.

  Hope this helps!

  Hi @vizualeyez! You can’t upload outside themes to WordPress.com — that functionality is only available to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. You can read about the differences here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can browse for WordPress.com themes on the Theme Showcase.

  Yes. You can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a self hosted WordPress.org install http://wordpress.org/ and then move your content (not themes and not text widget content) by export and import. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
