  You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG sites on paid hosting.

  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

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.

  See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  If you intend to have your site remain here at wordpress.COM then go back to the theme vendor and request a refund.
