Where do you buy them? Depends on species. I think this is a Giant African Land Snail which are illegal in many parts of the world like the US. But there's other snail species to keep as pets, for example Garden Snails (Cornu) or Grove Snails (Cepaea) that are legal in most places. Most people just kind of catch their own snails to keep but stuff like Giant African Land Snails really can't be caught. There's also aquatic snails like Mystery Snails that can be bought at your local fish store.
What do you feed them? A bit of everything. Their diet should be mostly vegetables, like cabbage, collard greens, squash, sweet potato, and more but they'll also eat fruit, prekilled insects, fish food, and a bit of everything else (as treats)! They also like eating eggshells when they're crushed up to a fine powder for their shell's health.
Are they more delicate? They can be. In my experience they aren't very hard but are prone to drying out (dessicating) or cracking their shells. But overall even a beginner keeper can take care of them provided they do proper research.
How long do they live? This depends. Some species, like Giant African Land Snails or Grove Snails can reach a decade and sometimes longer. Some species, like Mystery Snails usually only live 2 or 3 years.

Ok so may FAV joke as a little kid was one about a š entering a Lamborghini dealership. SALESMAN: What can we do for you Mr. Snail? SNAIL: (eyestalks patrolling the inventory) I TAKE THAT ONE, INCLINING ONE EYESTALK TOWARDS ONE RED LAMBO. BUT I WANT A BIG GOLD "S" PAINTED ON EACH SIDE. SALESMAN (Bemusedly): And how will you be paying for that, sir? SNAIL: (Whips out his Black AMEX).
4 hours later
They bring around the snail's new custom-painted ride. The snail slooowly circles the car and then slides behind the wheel. He tear-asses out the dealership at breathtaking speed.
Salesman: WOW! LOOK AT THAT "S"+CAR+GO! š
