  Hi there!

  I’m so sorry about this, but there seems to be some confusion between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  Themes can’t be uploaded to blogs hosted on WordPress.com. They can only be uploaded to self-hosted blogs running on WordPress.org software. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

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

  We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/

  So currently it would be best to try and get a refund on the theme and continue to use WordPress.com and find themes available through us, or move to WordPress.org and apply your theme there.

  If you want to go to WordPress.org please let me know and I can help you move over there.
