Uploading newly purchased theme

I need to upload and install a new theme that I purchased through Elegant Themes, but I cannot locate the “Install Themes” tab. Can you help?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you intend to remain at WordPress.com return the theme and get a refund.
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/
You cannot import a theme and use it on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload any third party themes.

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

So to confirm: you can upload custom third party themes to wordpress.ORG, but not wordpress.COM, correct? Sorry to seem thick.

That’s quite right. WeordPress.com has a good set of built-in themes available at http://wordpress.com/themes/ but you cannot upload any more,
