  You can’t. Take it back and get a refund. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access and the ability to upload themes into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. See > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Themify Staff are well aware of the differences between free hosted WordPress.com blogs and WordPress.org installs or should be. If you had clearly stated which software your blog was on they would have told you that the theme could not be used on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. :)

  The only themes you can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are the 208 found here > Dashboard > Appearance > Themes However, you may want to use the features filter on the Themes Showcase site to narrow your search http://theme.wordpress.com/
