How can I download (or upload?) a Theme Forest theme?

Sorry, I am website illiterate and have an anxious client. I’m trying to upload/use a WordPress theme I brought from Theme Forest. How?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You cannot install any custom theme or any third party theme into any wordpress.COM hosted blog and there is no upgrade that changes that. The “add new theme” option does not exist on any WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You are confusing WordPress.ORG software with WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
If you want to use a third party theme you will have to get web hosting http://wordpress.org/hosting and set up your own WordPress.ORG install.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Be sure to read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Thank you.
I must say, it is a bit confusing with WordPress.com and WordPress.org. Of course, I don’t know much about either of them, obviously.
