  Because of the way WordPress.com’s technical infrastructure is designed, we are not able to support uploading of custom WordPress themes on our service.

  If you intend to blog here at WordPress COM then return the theme and get a refund because you can only use it only on WordPress.ORG install. WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org: The Differences

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or upload any third party themes or software. Those are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.COM blogs are found on your dashboard here > Appearance > Themes

  There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access, the ability to install plugins, third party themes and software into free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
