  You are not able to use a third-party theme on a WordPress.com site.

  You would need to sign up on another hosting site (such as bluehost.com) and install the WordPress.org software to use a theme like that.

  You can’t do that, that’s impossible.

  Thank you very much for your answers, but the theme has been purchased on WordPress, so it’s not really a “third-party” theme : (

  Did you purchase it from WordPress.COM? Is the version theme found here along with the only themes that have been adapted to run on free hosted WordPress.com software?
  http://wordpress.com/themes/

  If the answers are “no” then read what follows carefully.

  You can import a theme. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload any third party themes.

  The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated clearly here > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you want to use any third party theme or build your own theme then don’t waste any time here at all. Purchase web hosting http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/ Then move your .wordpress.com blog content into it http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
